Answer:

The possible  dimensions of the rectangle are (x+7) and (x -4).

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression  for area of the rectangle is:[tex]x^{2}  + 3x - 28[/tex]

Now, Area of the rectangle =  Length x Width

Hence, to find the dimensions, we need to factorize the given trinomial.

So, [tex]x^{2}  + 3x - 28 = x^{2}  + 7x - 4x- 28[/tex]

⇒[tex]x^{2}  + 7x - 4x- 28 = x(x+7)-4(x+7) = (x+7)(x-4)[/tex]

[tex]x^{2}  + 3x - 28  = (x+7)(x-4)[/tex]

So, the factors of the polynomial are (x+7) and (x -4)

Hence, the possible  dimensions of the rectangle are (x+7) and (x -4).
