I will show you the steps on how you get that answer and if you have any questions after that let me know and I'd be more than happy to help answer them for you.
The first step for solving (1 + y)² is to use the equation (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b² to expand the expression.
1² + 2 × 1y + y²
1 raised to any power equals 1,, so remove the power.
1 + 2 × 1y + y²
Calculate the product of 2 × 1y.
1 + 2y + y²
Finally,, use the commutative property to reorder the terms.
y² + 2y + 1
Let me know if you have any further questions.

if we look on one side, we already have one measurement. 4 cm. ok, that's the measurement on that side. look to the left now. that other side is also the same length, so we take that number and multiply it be 2 to get

$4 \times 2$

Wait! we're not done yet. look at the top. do you see the 3? well that's the width for the top of the rectangle. the bottom must be the same to right? so we get

$3 \times 2$
