Question

Find an algebraic expression for the area of the rectangle to the right. Remember that the area ola rectangle is the product of its length and width. 2 ft Is (5x-2) fi sq. ft. The algebraic expression for the area of the given rectangle is (Simplify your answer.)

Answer 1

In the given rectangle :

Length = (5x - 2) ft

Width = 2 ft

Area of rectangle is express as the product of length and width

Area of rectangle = Length x Width

Area of rectangle = (5x - 2) x 2

Simplify : (5x - 2) x 2 = 10x - 4

Area of rectangle = 10x - 4

Answer : Area of rectangle = 10x - 4
