Answer 1

yes it is A= 8 w^2 + 5 w

i got it right on test

Answer 2

A=
`8w^2+5w`

Explanation:

We are given that John is building a rectangular pen for his sheep.\

We have to complete the given equation

Let w be the width of rectangular pen

According to question

Length of pen=8w+5

We know that

Area of rectangle=
`Length * breadth`

Using the formula

Area of rectangular pen=
`w(5+8w)=8w^2+5w`

Therefore, the area of rectangular pen=A=
`8w^2+5w`
