Question

Write an algebraic expression for the area of the crafts room

Answer 1

the formula for the area of a rectangle is

A = b x h

where A = area, b = base, h = height

then we use the data they give us and replace it in the formula

where: b = 3x and h = x + 2

$\begin{gathered} A=b\times h \\ A=3x\times(x+2) \\ A=3x^2+6x \end{gathered}$

and the algebraic expression for the area of the crafts room is

$A=3x^2+6x$
