Question

What is the area of the model in the problem?

Answer 1

Answer:

$A=x^2+12x+27\ units^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the model is equal to the area of a rectangle

The area of a rectangle is equal to

$A=LW$

we have

$L=x+9\ units$

$W=x+3\ units$

substitute

$A=(x+9)(x+3)$

Apply distributive property

$A=x^2+3x+9x+27$

Combine like terms

$A=x^2+12x+27\ units^2$
