Express the area of the entire rectangle.
Your answer should be a polynomial in standard form.

Step-by-step explanation:
Let a=x+2 and b=x+6
The area of a rectangle is given by
A=a*b
So
[tex](x + 2) \times (x + 6) = {x}^{2} + 8x + 12[/tex]
Answer:
A = x² + 8x + 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a rectangle:
A = bh
A = (x + 6)(x + 2)
A = x² + 2x + 6x + 12
A = x² + 8x + 12
