Question

What is A = 6(s + 2)^2?

Answer 1

$A=6s^2+24s+24$

Explanation

$(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2$

Step 1

$\begin{gathered} A=6(s+2)^2 \\ A=6(s^2+2\cdot2\cdot s+2^2) \\ A=6(s^2+4s+4) \end{gathered}$

Step 2

apply the distributive property

$\begin{gathered} A=6(s^2+4s+4) \\ A=6s^2+24s+24 \end{gathered}$

I hope this helps you.
