Let the width of the rectangular rug be ′x′.
Since the length of a rectangular rug is 2feet more than its width, therefore, the length of the rug is x+2.
Also it is given that the length of the rug is 8feet which means
⇒8=x+2
⇒x=8−2
⇒x=6
Therefore, the width of the rug is 6 feet.
Now, the area of rectangle is Width × length that is A=8×6=48
Area of the rectangular rug is 48 square feet.
Hence, option B is correct.
