Question

A rectangles length is 6 units greater than its width. Write an equation expressing the rectangles area, A, as a function of W

Answer 1

A = W² + 6W

Explanation:

The width is W.

The length is 6 units greater than the width, so the length is W + 6.

The area is the product of the length and width.

A = (W + 6)W

A = W² + 6W
