Which expression represents the area of the triangle drawn below?

Base of the triangle=4x+2

Height of the triangle=2x+1

Area of triangle=
(1)/(2)*b*h

Area=
(1)/(2)*(4x+2)(2x+1)

Simplifying 4x+2 we get, 2(2x+1)

So, we have, Area=
(1)/(2)*2(2x+1)(2x+1)

Area=
(1)/(1)*1(2x+1)(2x+1)

=(2x+1)(2x+1)

FOILing the two we get, 2x*2x +2x*1 +1*2x+1*1

(2x+1)(2x+1)=4x²+2x+2x+1

Area=4x²+4x+1

So, Area of the triangle=4x²+4x+1

Answer:Option C
