Question

I need help with finding the area of thisDo please explain though (I’ve got other questions like that and I want to be able to do it on my own)

Answer 1

Answer:

The area is:

$A=x^2+8x+15$

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that we calculate the area of a rectangle by multiplying its lenght by its width, as following:

$A=l\times w$

Now, notice that the given rectangle has a lenght of:

$x+5$

And a width of:

$x+3$

This way, the area would be:

$\begin{gathered} A=(x+5)(x+3) \\ \rightarrow A=x^2+3x+5x+15 \\ \\ \Rightarrow A=x^2+8x+15 \end{gathered}$
