A piece of Plexiglas has a width which is 5 centimeters shorter than its length. What represents the area of the Plexiglas, in terms of its length (L)?

Answer 1

Answer: x*(x-5)

Explanation:

Plexiglass is a cuboid

which means that the area would be l*w

in the question it states that the width is 5 cm shorter than the length

since we dont know the values

we represent them as x

so using l*w

we write x*(x-5)
