Question

Which of the following can be used to express the total area of a figure?

A. (5)(4x)(3x)

B. 12x^2 + 15x

C. (3x + 4x) (5)

D. 3x (4x + 5)

Answer 1

The answer is option B

Explanation:

The figure above is a rectangle

Area of a rectangle = length × width

From the question

The total length of the rectangle = 3x

The total width of the rectangle = 4x + 5

So the area of the figure is

A = 3x( 4x + 5)

Expand

We have the final answer as

A = 12x² + 15x
