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
