Answer:

3x^2

Explanation:

Area is length times width of a side of the box. Base of box 1 is 3x by x. 3x times x equals 3x squared. We don't have any more information, so x remains a variable.

Answer:

The area is:
A = 3x ^ 2\ units ^ 2

Explanation:

We assume that the base of Box 1 is a rectangle of sides x and 3x.

So by definition the area of a rectangle is:


A = Lw

Where: L is the length and w is the width of the rectangle

So the base area of the Box 1 is:


A = 3x * x


A = 3x ^ 2\ units ^ 2
