The measure of the area of a rectangle is x^2 -19x+48. If the dimensions of the
\n" ); document.write( " rectangle are represented polynomials, find the dimensions and then find it's perimeter.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Factor the equation to get the length and width
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 - 19x + 48 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "(x-16)(x-3) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x = 16, the length
