Answer:


(1)/(2)* \text{Boundary of county Harding touching Adams}* \text{Boundary of county Lincoln touching Adams}

Explanation:

In the figure attached, map shows the dimensions of the 5 counties in a Midwestern state.

Adams county has the triangular boundaries.

Since area of triangle is represented by the expression
(1)/(2)(\text{Base})* (\text{Height})

Base represents the boundary of county Harding touching Adams = 18 mi.

Height represents the boundary of county Lincoln touching Adams = 10 mi

Therefore, expression representing the area of Adams county will be


(1)/(2)* \text{Boundary of county Harding touching Adams}* \text{Boundary of county Lincoln touching Adams}

=
(1)/(2)18* 10

= 90 square miles.
