Answer:

A=p2-2p-3

Explanation:

The area for a triangle is given by:

A=1/2bh

The base is p + 1 and the height is 2p - 6. Therefore:

A=1/2(p+1)(2p-6)

Simplify the second term:

A=(p+1)(1/2)(2p-6)=(p+1)(p-3)

Distribute:

A=p(p-3)+1(p-3)

Distribute:

A=p2-3p+p-3

Combine like terms:

A=p2-2p-3
