A rectangular garden has an area of x² − 49 square metres and one side is x + 7 metres. If x > 7, what is the length of the other side?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x − 7

Answer: A, x−7 metres. For a rectangle, area equals length multiplied by width, so the unknown side is (x²−49)/(x+7). Factor the numerator using the difference of squares: x²−49=x²−7²=(x+7)(x−7). Dividing by the known side x+7 leaves x−7, provided x+7 is nonzero. The condition x>7 also ensures x−7 is positive, as a physical side length must be. B is wrong because using x+7 for both sides would give area (x+7)²=x²+14x+49, not x²−49. C has the wrong algebraic degree and does not result from the division. D does not satisfy the factorisation and would not reproduce the given area. A useful memory cue is a²−b²=(a+b)(a−b): the two rectangle sides are the sum and difference factors.
