Answer 1

heres the ss

Answer 2

area of a rectangle = length*width

for shape A it's (x+2)(x+3). use FOIL to expand this. do you know how to do that?

Answer 3

FOIL = first outer inner last

(x+2)(x+3)

within each set of parentheses, the first terms are both x ---> multiply x*x
the outer terms are x and 3 ---> multiply x*3
the inner terms are 2 and x ---> multiply 2*x
the last terms are 2 and 3 ---> multiply 2*3

add the results, combine like terms as needed

repeat with shape B

add the two areas
