Answer:
The area in factored form is .
The area in standard form is .
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a rectangle is length times width.
So the area here is (x+2)(x-5).
They are probably not looking for A=(x+2)(x-5) because it requires too little work.
They probably want A in standard form instead of factored form.
Let's use foil:
First x(x)=x^2
Outer: x(-5)=-5x
Inner: 2(x)=2x
Last: 2(-5)=-10
---------------------Adding together: .
The area in factored form is .
The area in standard form is .
