Answer:
(x+5) metres
Step-by-step explanation:
correct question
The rectangle below has an area of x^2+8x+15 square meters and a width of x+3 meters. What expression represents the length of the rectangle?
Area of the rectangle = Length * width
Factorize the area
A(x) = x^2+8x+15
A(x) = x^2+3x+5x+15
A(x) = x(x+3) + 5(x+3)
A(x) = (x+3)(x+5)
Since the width is x+3, the length of the rectangle will be (x+5) metres
