Question

A park meadow is planted with wildflowers. The Parks Department plans to extend the length of the rectangular meadow by x meters. Which expressions represent the total area, in square meters after the meadow length is increased? Select all that apply B 15.50200 A310 + C 20x + 15.5 D 15.5x + 310 E 15.5020 F 355 +

Answer 1

The total area of the meadow is equal to sum of original area and increased area.

Determine the expression for the total area.

`\begin{gathered} A=20\cdot15.5+15.5\cdot x \\ =15.5(20+x) \\ =310+15.5x \end{gathered}`

So expression for the total area are,

`15.5(20+x)`
`15.5x+310`

So option D and E are correct.
