The measure of the length of a rectangle is 5x and the measure of the width is 3x.

Find the measure of the area.

Exponents can be entered in your answer in the form "(x^2)".

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]Area=15x^2[/tex] square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given rectangle has the following dimension:

[tex]l=5x[/tex]


and


[tex]w=3x[/tex]


The area of a rectangle is

[tex]Area=l\times w[/tex]


We substitute the dimensions in terms of [tex]x[/tex] into the formula for the area to get;


[tex]Area=(5x)\times (3x)[/tex]


This simplifies to give us;


[tex]Area=15x^2[/tex] square units.
