what is the area of a rectangle with a length that is 5 more than triple the width?
width --- x
length -- 3x+5
area = x(3x+5) or 3x^2 + 5x
To find the area of a rectangle, we need to multiply its length by its width. In this case, the length is given as 5 more than triple the width.
Let's represent the width as "w". So, the length would be 3w + 5.
Now, we can calculate the area by multiplying the length and the width:
Area = length × width
Area = (3w + 5) × w
Next, we can simplify the equation by distributing the w:
Area = 3w^2 + 5w
So, the area of the rectangle with a length that is 5 more than triple the width is given by the equation 3w^2 + 5w.
