Yes you need the distance formula to find the Base and height.
Answer:
2x² + 9x - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
(2x - 1)(x + 5)
Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is
2x(x + 5) - 1(x + 5) ← distribute both parenthesis
= 2x² + 10x - x - 5 ← collect like terms
= 2x² + 9x - 5
