Give possible expressions for the length and breadth of each of the following rectangles, in which their areas are given: Area : 25a2 – 35a + 12
Since area of rectangle = length × breadth. Let us factorize the following equations into two terms.
Area = 25a2 – 35a + 12
= 25a2 – 15a - 20a + 12 (Using splitting method)
= 5a(5a -3) - 4(5a - 3)
= (5a - 3)(5a -4)
∴ Possible length = (5a - 3)
and Possible width = (5a -4)
