Question

Find the area. Simplify your answer.

Answer 1

x^2+8x+12

Explanation:

a= w * l

a= (x+6)*(x+2)

a= x^2+8x+12

Answer 2

9514 1404 393

Answer:

x^2 +8x +12

Explanation:

The area is the product of length and width. The product can be simplified using the distributive property.

A = LW

A = (x +6)(x +2) = x(x +2) +6(x +2)

A = x^2 +2x +6x +12

A = x^2 +8x +12
