Answer:
The length of the rectangle is (x+6) meters and the width is (x-2) meters. What is the area of the rectangle in terms of x?
The area A of a rectangle is given by the formula A=l×w where l is the length and w is the width.
For the given rectangle, the length l is x+6 meters and width w is x−2 meters. Let m stand for meters. The area A in square meters is
A=l×w
=(x+6) m×(x−2) m
=(x+6)(x−2) m2
=(x2−2x+6x−12) m2
=(x2+4x−12) m2.
