Question

a rectangle has a length that is 6 inches longer than its width. if w represents, the width, write an expression, in terms of w, for the area of the rectangle

Answer 1

W x (w + 6) is the expression

Answer 2

To find area, we use the equation L×W=A

We need to fill in L and W with what we know.

A rectangle has a length that is 6 inches longer than its width. L=W+6; we need to use that equation for l

(w+6)w=A; let's simplify.

W²+6W=A
