SOLUTION: the volume of a box is represented by (x^2+5x+6)(x+5). Find the polynomial that represents the area of the bottom of the box.
The right side of the box says x+2 if that helps any

You can put this solution on YOUR website! The volume of any shape with a constant cross-section (meaning if you cut the shape across the middle parallel to one of the bases you get the same shape as the base):
Volume = Area of base*Height
So if the height is x+5, then the formula for the area of the base must be the other expression you've got there:
(
