Answer:

Area= height x width = (x + 9) (x^2 + 2x) = x^3 + 2x^2 + 9x^2 + 18x = x^3 + 11 x^2 + 18x

Explanation:

The height is (x + 9) and the width is (x^2 + 2x) and the the area of the rectangle is equal to: Area= height x width = (x + 9) (x^2 + 2x) = x^3 + 2x^2 + 9x^2 + 18x = x^3 + 11 x^2 + 18x

Answer:

x³ + 11x² + 18x

Explanation:

(x² + 2x)(x + 9)

Step 1: Distribute x²+2x into x + 9.

x³ + 2x² + 9x² + 18x

Step 2: Combine like terms.

x³ + 11x² + 18x

The area of this rectangle is x³ + 11x² + 18x.
