Answer:
A = x⁵ + 13x³ - 9x² + 40x - 72
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the area of a rectangle is length X width, or A = lw.
Substitute the equations for the sides into the formula:
A = lw
A = (x² + 8)(x³ + 5x - 9) <= use the distributive property
A = x⁵ + 5x³ -9x² + 8x³ + 40x - 72 <= collect like terms
A = x⁵ + 13x³ - 9x² + 40x - 72
24/100 simplified is 6/25
Harrison walked a total of 14 km because the first rectangle has a perimeter of 6 km and the second has a perimeter of 8 km. Harrison’s brother walked a total of 12 km since that was the perimeter of the 5*1. 14-12 is 2 so there is a 2 km difference.
