Question

A rectangle has an area of x2 + 7x + 12  inches ². Find the possible dimensions of the rectangle.
 

  1. (x + 4) in. by (x + 8) in.
  2. (x + 1) in. by (x + 11) in.
  3. (x + 3) in. by (x + 4) in.
  4. (x + 2) in. by (x + 6) in.

The correct answer is: (x + 3) in. by (x + 4) in.


    Factors of 12 are 3 and 4.
    And, 3 + 4 = 7
    So, x2 + 7x + 12 = (x + 3) (x + 4)
    The dimensions of the rectangle are x + 3 inches by x + 4 inches.
