Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

To find the area, simply multiply the given sides and

Now let's FOIL the expression

Remember, when you FOIL an expression, you follow this procedure:

Multiply the First terms:

Multiply the Outer terms:

Multiply the Inner terms:

Multiply the Last terms:

Now collect every term to make a single expression

Now combine like terms

Answer:
So foils and simplifies to

In other words,

So the area is
