The length and breadth of a rectangle are 3x2 – 2 and 2x + 5 respectively. Find its area.
Here, Length = 3x2 - 2
Breadth = 2x + 5
∴ Area = (Length) x ( Breadth)
= (3x2 - 2) x (2x + 5)
= 3x2 (2x + 5) + (-2)(2x +5)
= (3x2 x 2x) + (5 x 3x2 ) + [(-2) x 2x + (-2) x 5]
= 6x3 + 15x2 + (-4x) +(-10)
= 6x3 + 15x2 - 4x -10
