Part A:To find the expression for the length of the rectangular space, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is length times width. We are given that the area is represented by the expression
and the width is represented by the expression
. Let's denote the length as
. Then, we have:Area = Length * Width
To solve for
, we divide both sides of the equation by
:
Simplifying the expression, we get:
So, the expression to represent the length of the rectangular space is
.Part B:To prove that our answer in Part A is correct, we can multiply the length and the width of the rectangle and check if it equals the given area expression.Length * Width =
Expanding the expression, we get:
Since this expression matches the given area expression, we can conclude that our answer in Part A is correct.
