The expression for the area of the triangle is
5x^4+4x^3 units .

Explanation:

The expression height of the triangle=
2x^2 units.

The expression base of the triangle=
5x^2+4x units.

The area of the triangle =
(1)/(2) bh.

where b is the base and h is the height.

Area A=
(1)/(2)(2x^2)(5x^2+4x) .

=
x^2(5x^2+4x) .

=
5x^4+4x^3 .

∴ The expression for the area of the given triangle is
5x^4+4x^3 units .
