Math Problem Statement

The length of a rectangular field is 2x^2 and the width is 4x. Find the area of the rectangular field.

Solution

The problem states that the length of the rectangular field is 2x22x^2 and the width is 4x4x. We are asked to find the area of the rectangular field.

Step-by-Step Solution:

The area AA of a rectangle is given by the formula: A=Length×WidthA = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} Substituting the given values for length and width: A=(2x2)×(4x)A = (2x^2) \times (4x)

Now, multiply the terms: A=2x2×4x=8x3A = 2x^2 \times 4x = 8x^3

Thus, the area of the rectangular field is 8x38x^3.

Correct Answer:

The correct option is 8x38x^3.

  2. What happens to the area if the length and width are doubled?
  3. How do you simplify the product of two polynomials like (x2)(x3)(x^2)(x^3)?
  4. If the width were instead 5x25x^2, how would the area change?
  5. Can you find the perimeter of the rectangle given these dimensions?

Tip: When multiplying expressions with exponents, always add the exponents if the base is the same.
