A rectangle is divided into parts \(x^2\), \(5x\), \(7x\), and \(35\). What are the possible sides of the rectangle?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \((x+5)\) and \((x+7)\)

The correct answer is B: the sides are \((x+5)\) and \((x+7)\). In the rectangle model, multiplying the side lengths gives the total area. Expand step by step: \((x+5)(x+7)=x^2+7x+5x+35=x^2+12x+35\). The two cross-rectangles would have areas \(7x\) and \(5x\), while the corner rectangle has area \(5\times7=35\). Thus the listed pieces are exactly \(x^2\), \(5x\), \(7x\), and \(35\), with no overlap or missing part. A has constants 12 and 35, giving the wrong cross terms and constant product. C would produce negative middle terms, not the positive \(5x\) and \(7x\) pieces. D has constant product 35 but its cross terms total \(36x\), so it also fails. Memory cue: for \(x^2+px+q\), find two numbers whose sum is \(p\) and product is \(q\).
