08 square ft

O 6 square ft

12 square ft

O 10 square ft

Area = 8 square ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = Length * width

suppose length = x

width = y

Here it is given that x = 3 y - 2

width is given as y = 2 ft

∴ x = 3 * 2 - 2

x = 6 - 2

x = 4

Area of rectangle = length * width

A = 4 * 2

= 8 square ft
