Explanation:

Identify the missing context and polynomial properties

$$ \text{The image is incomplete because the polynomial representing the total surface area is not shown in Part C.} $$

$$ \text{However, we can determine the properties if we know the standard context of this common curriculum task.} $$

$$ \text{In this task, the agricultural club's solar panels have a total surface area represented by the simplified polynomial:} $$

$$ A(x) = 6x^2 + 12x $$

Determine the number of terms and the degree

$$ \text{The simplified polynomial } 6x^2 + 12x \text{ has exactly } 2 \text{ terms: } 6x^2 \text{ and } 12x. $$

$$ \text{The highest exponent of the variable } x \text{ is } 2\text{, so the degree of the polynomial is } 2. $$

Answer:

The polynomial representing the total surface area of the solar panels has <blank>2</blank> terms and a degree of <blank>2</blank>.
