Gavin is subdividing land into two plots, where one plot is in the shape of a square and the other plot is in the shape of a rectangle. The square plot of land has a side length of 6x3 feet, and the rectangular plot of land has a length of 3x5 feet and a width of 7x2 feet. Use the properties of exponents to determine the expression that represents the area for each plot of land. Then analyze which plot of land has a larger area if x is 3.
