Answer:
a) 3x^2 + x - 2
b) 28m
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Since the Area for a normal square is b*l (base x length)
Do the same with this (Using FOIL ig)
(3x - 2) * (x + 1)
3x^2 + 3x - 2x - 2
3x^2 + x - 2
b) Since it's asking us to find out what the number will be while x = 3m, just substitute 3 for every "x" in the answer we got for a
3(3)^2 + (3) - 2
3(9) + (3) - 2
27 + 3 - 2
30 - 2
28m
Therefore the actual area of this rectangle is 28m
