Question

9 mark for review a rectangle has a length that is 15 times its width. the function ( y=(15 w)(w) ) represents this situation, where ( y ) is the area, in square feet, of the rectangle and ( y>0 ). which of the following is the best interpretation of ( 15 w ) in this context? a the length of the rectangle, in feet b the area of the rectangle, in square feet c the difference between the length and the width of the rectangle, in feet d the width of the rectangle, in feet

Explanation:

• The formula for the area of a rectangle is \(y = \text{length}\times\text{width}\).
• Given \(y=(15w)(w)\), where \(w\) is the width. Since the length is 15 times the width, \(15w\) must represent the length.

Answer:

A. The length of the rectangle, in feet
