Question

I need help with this bc i’m gonna fail if i don’t

Answer 1

The area of the shape can be calculated using the formula:

`A=l* w`

From the diagram, both the length and the width are 10 units long. Therefore, the area can be given to be:

`A=10*10`

By arithmetic, we have that:

`10=7+3`

Therefore, we can rewrite the expression for the area to be:

`A=10*(7+3)`

Recall the distributive property:

`a(b+c)=a* b+a* c`

Therefore, the expression can be rewritten to be:

`\begin{gathered} A=(10*7)+(10*3) \\ or \\ A=(3*10)+(7*10) \end{gathered}`

The LAST OPTION is correct.
