Question

My brain died so i forgot

Answer 1

Area=
`a^2+11a`

Explanation:

area=length times width

squares have the same side length, or length=width

in this problem, the side length of the square is
`a`

therefore, length=width=
`a`

the length is increased by 11 to make a rectangle

therefore, the new length is
`a+11`

the width stays the same, it is still
`a`

therefore, the area of the rectangle is length X width=(a+11)*a

Area=(a+11)(a)

use distributive property (
`a(b+c)=ab+ac`)

Area=(a)(a)+(11)(a)

Area=
`a^2+11a`
