Answer:
area = x(3x +10)
Step-by-step explanation:
The lengths of the unmarked sides are found as the difference between the lengths of the parallel marked sides.
horizontal unmarked = (2x+15) -x = x +15
vertical unmarked = (2x -5) -(x -5) = x
The area of the figure is the sum of the areas of parts of the figure. The area can be divided several ways. One is shown in the attachment, along with the areas of the parts and of the whole.
The whole area is ...
x(2x -5) +x(x +15) = x((2x -5) +(x +15)) = x(2x -5 +x +15) = x(3x +10)
