Question

How do you find area and perimeter of a rectangle with the side lengths of 5x^2 and 12x?

Answer 1

The area can be found by multiplying the two terms, and the perimeter by doubling and adding them.

Using this, we find that the area of the rectangle is 60x³, and the perimeter is 10x² + 24x.

Explanation:

First let's find the area:

5x² × 12x

= 60x³

Now the perimeter:

2(5x² + 12x)

= 10x² + 24x
