Question

a rectangle has a height of 5x and a width of x + 2. express the area of the entire rectangle. expression should be expanded.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall area formula

$A = h\times w$ (where $h$ is height and $w$ is width)

Step2: Substitute given values

$A=5x\times(x + 2)$

Step3: Apply distributive property

$A=5x\times x+5x\times2$

Step4: Simplify terms

$A = 5x^{2}+10x$

Answer:

$5x^{2}+10x$
