Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Let the even integers be x and x+2. The width of the rectangle is x and the length is x+2. The area of the rectangle is the product of the width and length, so A = x(x+2) = x^2 + 2x. Therefore, the expression for the area of the rectangle is 11ec1544_3792_ce5f_8a2d_d3bc0ccede8f_TBX8671_11.
