The length of a rectangle is 6 cm more than its width. the area of the rectangle is 256 cm, superscript,2,baseline,. let x represent the width of the rectangle in centimeters. which equation represents the situation? answer options with 4 options a . 6x, superscript,2,baseline, − 256 = 0 b . 6x, superscript,2,baseline, + 256 = 0 c. x ,superscript,2,baseline, − 6x + 256 = 0 d. x ,superscript,2,baseline, + 6x − 256 = 0

The equation which represents the situation is:

Let x represent the width of the rectangle in centimeters.

The length of a rectangle is 6 cm more than its width.

This means that the length of the rectangle is: x+6 cm.

Also, we know that the area of a rectangle is the product of the length and width of the rectangle.

Here, the area of the rectangle is 256 cm².

i.e.

look at the picture.

y-intercept for the function on a picture is 4 → point (0, 4).

y-intercept for the function

is for x = 0. substitute:

y-intercept is 8 → point (0, 8).
