Question

Find the area of the rectangle below by multiplying its length and width.

(5x-4) units
(2x-5) units

Answer 1

To find the area of a rectangle, we are going to use the formula:
`A=lw`
where

`A` is the area

`l` is the length

`w` is the width

From our problem we can infer that
`l=5x-4` and
`l=(2x-5)`. Lets replace those values in our formula to find the ara of our rectangle:

`A=(5x-4)(2x-5)`

`A=10 x^(2) -25x-8x+20`

`A=10 x^(2) -33x+20`

We can conclude that the area of our rectangle is
`A=10 x^(2) -33x+20`.
