Is that the whole question?
Answer:
9 square kilometers
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's round the width to 2.0 kilometers, and round the length to 4.5 kilometers.
We know that area is length times width, so
A = lw
A = 2.0*4.5
<u>A = 9.0 square kilometers</u>
If we do this on the calculator, it's around 9.36 square kilometers, so our estimate was good.
Group like terms , factor out common variable.
(xz+x) + (yz+y)
x(z+1) + y(z+1)
factor out (z+1)
= (z+1)(x+y)
= solution C.
