A square has sides of length s. A rectangle is 6 inches shorter and 1 inch longer than the square. which of the following polynomials represents the area of the rectangle? select all that apply
s^2
(s+6)(s+1)
(s-6)(s+1)
(s-6)(s-1)
s^2-7s+1
s^2-5s-6
s^2+7s+6

Answer 1

The correct polynomials that represent the area of the rectangle are:

(s + 6)(s + 1)
(s - 6)(s + 1)
s^2 - 5s - 6
