Question

The length of a rectangle is (3x − 5) inches, and its width is 2x inches. find the area of the rectangle. hint: area of a rectangle = length × width. the area of the rectangle is square inches

Answer 1

A = L * W
A = (3x-5) * 2x
A = 6x² - 10x

Answer 2

`15x^2-25x`.

Explanation:

Given : The length of a rectangle is
`(3x - 5)` inches, and its width is 2x inches.

To Find: Find the area of the rectangle.

Solution:

Length of rectangle =
`(3x - 5)`

Width of rectangle = 5x

Area of rectangle =
`Length * Width`

So, area of given rectangle =
`(3x-5) * 5x`

=
`15x^2-25x`

Hence the are of the given rectangle is
`15x^2-25x`.
