The area of a rectangle is given by: 5x^2-22x + 8. What are the possible

dimensions of the rectangle?

2 answers

To find the possible dimensions of the rectangle, we need to factor out the given expression, 5x^2-22x + 8, into two factors that represent the length and the width of the rectangle.

5x^2-22x + 8 can be factored into (5x-2)(x-4).

Therefore, the possible dimensions of the rectangle are (5x-2) by (x-4).
