Answer» ✏️ Which of the following trinomials can be represented by a rectangle? ✏️ For being a rectangle: A trinomial have to be two DIFFERENT terms; One as LENGTH of the rectangle. Second as breadth of the rectangle. ✏️ So, let's factorise each trinomial to check which is a rectangle; ✈️This term can't be factorise as we don't get any FACTORS by multiplying FIRST and last term✈️ ----------------------------------------------------------- ✈️This term also can't be factorise as here also we don't get any factors by multiplying first and last term✈️ ----------------------------------------------------------- As, here we get two terms as one as length (y+5) and one as breadth (y+3); So,this trinomial is represented by a rectangle. |
