Answer:

Length = 15

Width = 6

Area = 90

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the rectangle = [tex] {x}^{2} + 3x - 6x - 18[/tex]

Lets factorise the polynomial

[tex] = > x(x + 3) - 6(x + 3)[/tex]

[tex] = > (x + 3)(x - 6)[/tex]

We know that Area = Length × Width

Let the length be (x + 3) & width be (x - 6)

Its given in the question that x = 12. So putting the value of x gives ,

Length = [tex]x + 3 = 12 + 3 = 15[/tex]

Width = [tex]x - 6 = 12 - 6 = 6[/tex]

Area = Length × Width = 15 × 6 = 90
