How do you find the area of a rectangle with the length being -2n+17 and the width being 24
as usual, the area is length * width:
24(-2n+17) = -48n+54
thanks got it right but the 24(17) is 408
Hmmm. However did I come up with 54? weird... Anyway, way to watch.
To find the area of a rectangle, you need to multiply its length by its width. In this case, the length is given as -2n+17 and the width is given as 24.
So, to calculate the area of the rectangle, you can use the formula:
Area = Length x Width
Substituting the given values:
Area = (-2n+17) x 24
To simplify this expression, you can distribute the 24 to each term inside the parentheses:
Area = -2n x 24 + 17 x 24
Multiplying each term:
Area = -48n + 408
Hence, the area of the rectangle is -48n + 408.
