Answer:
5x^2 +10x
Step-by-step explanation:
The area is the product of the height and width. For this exercise, it is convenient to compute the rectangle areas individually, then write their sum:
blue rectangle area = (5x)(x) = 5x^2
red rectangle area = (5x)(2) = 10x
Total area = 5x^2 +10x.
_____
If you start by writing an expression for the total area, expanding it requires you deal with the unlike terms separately anyway:
5x(x +2) = 5x(x) +5x(2) = 5x^2 +10x
Answer:
26
Step-by-step explanation:
56cm-48cm=8cm
18cm+8cm=26cm
First solve the length of side BC, CD, EF and FA
Since BC = CD = sqrt( 10^2 + 10^2)
BC = CD = 14.1421
FA = EF = sqrt(10^2 + 20^2)
= 23.3607
So the perimeter = 10 + 10 + 14.1421 + 14.1421 + 23.3607
= 93
The area is made up be triangle FAE, rectangle ABDE and
triangle BCD
A = 0.5(20)(20) + (10)(20) + 0.5(20)(10)
