Question

Can someone help me? Please :/

Answer 1

The area of the rectangle = x² + 12x + 20

Explanation:

∵ Area of the rectangle = length × width

∵ Length = (x + 10) and width = (x + 2)

∴ Area = (x + 10) (x + 2)

= (x)(x) + (x)(2) + (10)(x) + (10)(2)

= x² + 2x + 10x + 20 ⇒ collect like terms

= x² + 12x + 20

∴ The area of the rectangle = x² + 12x + 20
