Answer:
20(n + 10)
20n + 200
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write two expressions for the area of the figure by treating the figure as one whole rectangle, and also as two different rectangles in one.
The two expressions are as follows:
Expression of Area as one whole rectangle:
Area of a rectangle = length × width
Length = (n + 10) ft
Width = 20 ft
Area = (n + 10)× 20 = 20(n + 10)
Area of rectangle as two rectangles in one piece:
Area of the larger rectangle = length × width = n × 20 = 20n
Area of the smaller rectangle = length × width = 20 × 10 = 200
Total area = 20n + 200
