The New Pool Problem

Question

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 in simplified form, that represents the area of the pool. Show and explain how you got the area of the pool.

Answer 1

Area of a rectangle=Length*Height

here the length is 5 feet longer than height, then area is:

A=(H+5)*H

Simplify it

A=H²+5h
