The area of a rectangular garden is given by the trinomial x^2 + 5x - 36. What are the possible dimensions of the rectangle? Use Factoring.

Answer 1

To find the possible dimensions of the rectangle, we need to factor the trinomial x^2 + 5x - 36.

x^2 + 5x - 36 can be factored as (x + 9)(x - 4).

Therefore, the possible dimensions of the rectangle are x + 9 and x - 4.
