Write a polynomial that represents the length of each rectangle. Transcription: The area of the rectangle is 0.5x3 - 0.3x2 + 0.22x + 0.06 square units and its width is x + 0.2 units
Rectangle with width x + 0.2 units and area 0.5x^3 - 0.3x^2 + 0.22x + 0.06 square units.

Recall the formula for the area of a rectangle: \(\text{Area} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width}\).
Given the area as \(0.5x^{3} - 0.3x^{2} + 0.22x + 0.06\) and the width as \(x + 0.2\), set up the equation: \(0.5x^{3} - 0.3x^{2} + 0.22x + 0.06 = \text{Length} \times (x + 0.2)\).
To find the length, divide the area polynomial by the width polynomial: \(\text{Length} = \frac{0.5x^{3} - 0.3x^{2} + 0.22x + 0.06}{x + 0.2}\).
Perform polynomial division (either long division or synthetic division) to divide \(0.5x^{3} - 0.3x^{2} + 0.22x + 0.06\) by \(x + 0.2\).
The quotient from this division will be the polynomial expression representing the length of the rectangle.

Area of a Rectangle

The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying its length by its width. Given the area and one dimension (width), you can find the other dimension (length) by dividing the area polynomial by the width polynomial.
