Okay, for our next problem, we were given the rectangle, as you can see here, and we were given the area of the rectangle, which is y squared plus y.
00:14
And so we are asked to find out the dimensions or the length and the width of a rectangle, or of this rectangle right here.
00:24
And so as you may know, the area of a rectangle or square equals the formula for it is length.
00:31
Length, i'm so sorry, length times with equals the area.
00:42
And so we can plug the area here into this equation.
00:49
So length times with equals y squared plus y.
01:02
And so next we can ask ourselves, what times what equals y squared plus y? and i don't know about you guys, but y square plus y, that looks a little icky to me.
01:15
I don't really enjoy trying to figure it out just by looking at it like this.
01:19
And so i'm going to try and factor y square plus y.
01:23
And so off the bat, you can see that they have a common factor, which is like you guessed, y...
