Area of a parallelogram. Find a trinomial that represents the area of a parallelogram whose base is 3x + 2 meters and whose height is 2x + 3 meters. Area = base × height Area = (3x + 2)(2x + 3) Use "FOIL": Area = (3x)(2x) + (3x)(3) + (2)(2x) + (2)(3) Area = 6x² + 9x + 4x + 6 Area = 6x² + 13x + 6 Edwin AnlytcPhil@aol.com
