Which expression represents the area of the garden in square meters?
The diagram shows the blueprint for a garden. All dimensions are given in meters.
Green rectangle positioned on long side. The top of the 3x+2.6x-2 and the right side of the short side says long side says
Which expression represents the area of the garden in square meters?
18x²+18x-4
18x²-4
18x²+6x-4
9x²-4
the hight is 3x+2 and the width is 6x-2
To find the area of the garden, we need to multiply the height by the width.
The height is given as 3x + 2 and the width is given as 6x - 2.
Therefore, the expression that represents the area of the garden is (3x + 2)(6x - 2).
Expanding this expression, we get 18x² - 6x + 12x - 4.
Combining like terms, we simplify to 18x² + 6x - 4.
So, the correct expression that represents the area of the garden is 18x² + 6x - 4.
