Step-by-step explanation:
The area of little Tommy's backyard rectangular sandbox can be represented by the given trinomial.
A = (x²-6x+8) ft²
We know that the area of a rectangle is given by :
A = L × B
[tex]LB=(x^2-6x+8) \\\\=x^2-(-4x-2x)+8\\\\=x^2+4x+2x+8\\\\=x(x+4)+2(x+4)\\\\=(x+2)(x+4)[/tex]
The length of the rectangle can be either (x+2) or (x+4).
