Question

Write an expression for the area of each shape provided. Make sure it’s in simplest polynomial form

Answer 1

Answer:
`6x^(2) +7x-5`

Explanation:

area of a trapezoid: a= a+b/2 H

so...

5x+7+x+3/2=6x+10/2=3x+5

then take 3x+5 and multiply it by 2x-1

soo... (3x+5)(2x-1) and I used FOIL

so then 6x^2-3x+10x-5

which is equal to 6x^2+7x-5

I hope this helps =)
