Question

A rectangle has a height of 5 and a width of x2 + 2.

Express the area of the entire rectangle.
Expression should be expanded.
· Area =
what is the area

Answer 1

Given:

A rectangle has a height of 5 units.

The width of the rectangle is
`x^2+2`

We need to determine the area of the rectangle.

Area of the rectangle:

The area of the rectangle can be determined using the formula,

`A=l* w`

where
`l=5` and
`w=x^2+2`

Substituting the values, we get;

`A=5(x^2+2)`

Let us expand the expression by multiplying the terms.

Thus, we have;

`A=5x^2+10`

Thus, the area of the rectangle is
`5x^2+10` square units.
