Use the formula for the area of a rectangle:
A=(length)(width)
A=?
Length = %28sqrt%283%29%29 + %28sqrt%285%29%29
Width = %28sqrt%283%29%29 + %28sqrt%285%29%29
.
Plug-in the values:
A=(length)(width)
A= %28%28sqrt%283%29+%2B+sqrt%285%29%29%29 * %28%28sqrt%283%29+%2B+sqrt%285%29%29%29
[use the FOIL method to multiply]
.
A= %28%283+%2B+%282sqrt%283%29+sqrt%285%29%29%2B5%29%29
A= %28%288+%2B+2sqrt%2815%29+%29%29 [combine like-terms]
A=15.7459
