how do you find the area as a product and a sum
Answer (2)
A = 2 x 2 + 10 x = 2 x ( x + 10 )
The area can be found by calculating the product of dimensions or by expanding that product into a polynomial representing the area as a sum of terms. For instance, for a rectangle with length x + 5 and width x + 2 , the area can be expressed as both ( x + 5 ) ( x + 2 ) and x 2 + 7 x + 10 . This dual approach helps in understanding how area changes with different dimensions.
