(x - 9) and (x + 3)

(x + 9) and (x - 3)

(x - 9) and (x - 3)

(x + 9) and (x + 3)

Answer 1

To find the possible dimensions of the rectangle, we need to factor the trinomial x^2 + 6x - 27.

The trinomial can be factored as (x + 9)(x - 3).

Therefore, the possible dimensions of the rectangle are (x + 9) and (x - 3).
