Question

What is A = 6(s + 2)^2?

Answer 1

`A=6s^2+24s+24`

Step-by-step explanation

`(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2`

Step 1

`\begin{gathered} A=6(s+2)^2 \\ A=6(s^2+2\cdot2\cdot s+2^2) \\ A=6(s^2+4s+4) \end{gathered}`

Step 2

apply the distributive property

`\begin{gathered} A=6(s^2+4s+4) \\ A=6s^2+24s+24 \end{gathered}`

I hope this helps you.
