The smith family is designing new plans for an in ground pool. mr smith draws a rectangular shape with a length that is 5 feet longer than the height. write a polynomial expression that represent the area of the pool.

Answer

Are of the pool = w² + 5w (in square feet)

Explanation

Since the pool is rectangular in shape,

Area of the pool can be calculated using the formula for the area of a rectangle

Area of rectangle = length x width

Given,

Width of pool (Assume is same as height) = w

Length of pool = w + 5

Area = w * (w + 5)

= w² + 5w (in square feet)

where w is the width of the pool
