Which of the following represents the area of a rectangle whose length is 5x − 3 and whose width is x + 7?
1 answer:
Answer : option C, 5x2 + 32x − 21
In the rectangle, the length = 5x - 3 and width = x + 7
We know the formula for area of rectangle = length * width
Area of rectangle = (5x-3)(x+7)
WE multiply it using FOIL method
F - First terms, 5x * x =
O- Outer terms, 5x * 7 = 35x
I - Inner terms, -3 * x= -3x
L - Last terms, -3 * 7 = -21
Now we add all the terms
combine like terms
So area of a rectangle =

Hi there!
The formula to find the are of a circle is :
a = r²
The formula to find the circumference of a circle is :
c = 2r
In order to use the area formula, you need to figure out what the radius (r) is.
If we solve for "r" in the circumference equation, we have :
r = c ÷ (2)
Now we use this to replace "r" in the area formula :
a = ( c ÷ (2
))²
When we simplify this we get :
a = c² ÷ 4
Now you can put your value of "c" into this equation and find "a".
*Remember, is about 3.1416.
Solving for "a" :
a = c² ÷ 4
a = 28² ÷ 4
28² = 28 × 28 = 784
a = 784 ÷ 4
4 = 4 ×
= 12.56637061435917
a = 784 ÷ 12.56637061435917
a = 62.38873769202297cm²
You need to round to the nearest square centimeter, which means that you need to round to the nearest whole number :
a = 62cm²
There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
