Question

Express the area of the entire rectangle. Your answer should be a polynomial in standard form.

Answer 1

Answer: A=x²+6x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are looking to find the area of the entire rectangle, we would use the formula $A=lw$. $l$ is length and $w$ is width. You would approach this problem like any other area of the rectangle problem, except you are dealing with polynomials instead.

$A=(x+2)(x+4)$

$A=x^2+4x+2x+8$

$A=x^2+6x+8$
