Answer:
A=lw is a formula for the area. L is length, W is width.
Answer:
Total area of figure = [3x² + 7x + 6] feet²
Step-by-step explanation:
By dividing both rectangle by vertical line;
Given:
Length of big rectangle = (x + 3) feet
Width of big rectangle = (x + 2) feet
Length of small rectangle = 2x feet
Width of small rectangle = (x + 1) feet
Find:
Total area of figure
Computation:
Area of rectangle = Length x width
Total area of figure = Area of big rectangle + Area of small rectangle
Total area of figure = [(x + 3)(x + 2)] + [(2x)(x + 1)]
Total area of figure = [x²+ 2x + 3x + 6] + [2x² + 2x]
Total area of figure = [3x² + 7x + 6] feet²
The answer is Division property of equality. This is because at Step 3, you have to divide to get your final answer. It cannot be the other ones because you do not subtract or distribute in step 3.
