OpenStudy (anonymous):

what happens when you multiply height times width?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would say volume but you need length.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the length and width are given, correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, I mis-understood what you just wrote. when dealing with a two-dimensional figure you would get AREA, not VOLUME

OpenStudy (anonymous):

volume is three-dimensional

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(2x - 4) times (x + 5) will give you the area of the rectangle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think leaving it in factored form is simpler but i they want you to multiply it out as @pg.calc says...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@dpalnc, the question asks for a polynomial expression?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you're right.... maybe i should learn to read the instructions better... :)
