Question

The length of a rectangle is the sum of two whole numbers. the width of the rectangle is the difference of the same two whole numbers. Using these facts, write a verbal expression for the area of the rectangle.

Answer 1

Hi,

Length = Base
Width = Height

$base = x + y \\ height = x - y$
$a = \frac{height \times base}{2}$

Hope this helps.
