Question

If the dimensions of a rectangular playground ca be represented as (3x + 16) and (2x + 3), then what is the area of the playground?

Answer 1

6x² + 41x + 48

Explanation:

Area (A) = l × w

Therefore,

A = (3x + 16)(2x + 3) (distribute)

A = 6x² + 9x + 32x + 48 (combine like terms)

A = 6x² + 41x + 48

Therefore, the area of the playground is 6x² + 41x + 48.
