Area of a parallelogram:

Area = Base * Height ----> A = bh

Start with the given equation.

Plug in and (the given base and height)

FOIL

Multiply

Combine like terms.

So the trinomial for the area is

Now let's find A(3).

Start with the given equation.

Plug in .

Square to get .

Multiply and to get .

Multiply and to get .

Combine like terms.
