Answer:

Where the width is W feet long, the area of the rectangle in terms of a polynomial

= 3W² - 2W

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is the product of the length and the width of the rectangle. Given that a rectangle has a Length L feet and a width W feet, the area A

= L * W

If the length of a rectangle is two feet less than three times the width.then

L = 3W - 2

The area A

= (3W - 2) * W

= 3W² - 2W
