Answer:

a = 1

b = 2

c = 5

d = 1

e = 6

Explanation:

Area of a triangle


\sf Area=(1)/(2)bh

where:

  • b = base
  • h = height (perpendicular to the base)

From inspection of the given triangle:

  • base (b) = 2x + 4
  • height (h) = x + 3

Substitute the given expressions into the formula and simplify:


\begin{aligned}\implies \sf Area & = (1)/(2)(2x+4)(x+3)\\\\& = (1)/(2)(2x^2+10x+12)\\\\& = x^2+5x+6\end{aligned}

Comparing the found expression for the area of the given triangle with the required answer format of
ax^b+cx^d+e, and remembering that
n=n^1


\sf a=\boxed{1}


\sf b=\boxed{2}


\sf c=\boxed{5}


\sf d=\boxed{1}


\sf e=\boxed{6}
