The area of any rectangle is the product of its length and width. Since your rectangle's area is , this must be the product of its length and width. So all we have to do is to find what factors have a product of . In other words, we need to factor :

So the length and width are (x+3) and (2x+7).

The area of a rectangular field is represented by 2x Squared plus 13x plus 21. What are the length and width of the field?
---------
2x^2 + 13x + 21
Factor::
(2x+ 7)(x+3)
----
If length = 2x+7, width = x+3
If length = x+3, width = 2x+7
