The area, in square feet, of a rectangular parking lot is represented by the expression x^3 + 27. Let x + 3 represent the length, in feet, of the parking lot. Which expression represents the width, in feet, of the parking lot?

This expression does not represent the correct factorization of the area. The correct factorization of (x^3 + 27) does not yield this expression, which can be verified by trying to expand it back to the original cubic form. Therefore, it cannot represent the width of the parking lot.

While this expression is related to the length of the parking lot, it incorrectly suggests that the width is the square of the length. The width must be a distinct factor that, when multiplied by the length, results in the area (x^3 + 27). Thus, this option does not represent the width.

This expression could be mistakenly derived from a different factorization but does not relate to the area (x^3 + 27) when factored correctly. It does not fit the derived factors from the sum of cubes, hence it cannot be the width of the parking lot.

This choice represents the length of the parking lot, not the width. The width must be a separate expression that complements the length to form the area, which is not achieved by using the length itself.
