Answer:

Area = 2x^3 - 6x^2 - 14x + 24

Explanation:

h = x - 4

b = 2x^2 + 2x - 6

Area = b * h

Area = (x - 4)(2x^2 + 2x - 6) Multiply through by x

Area = 2x^3 + 2x^2 - 6x - 8x^2 - 8x + 24 Multiply through by -4

Area = 2x^3 + (2x^2 - 8x^2) - 6x - 8x + 24 Collect like terms.

Answer

Area = 2x^3 - 6x^2 - 14x + 24
