The McDonald's Play Place is going to increase its ball pit size to allow for more fun! The ball pit was originally 10 feet by 12 feet. They have decided to increase each side by the same amount. Express the area of the new pit as a polynomial in simplest form.

A = x² + 22x + 120

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ball pit was originally 10 feet by 12 feet and each side is increased by the same amount which we would call x, the new length of sides are thus 10 + x and 12 + x respectively.

The area of the new pit is thus A = (10 + x)(12 + x), since it is a rectangle.

Expanding the brackets, we have

A = 10 × 12 + 10x + 12x + x²

collecting like terms, we have

A = 120 + 22x + x²

A = x² + 22x + 120

correct answer is option b.

step-by-step explanation:

the true statement about geometric figure is option b that is one line can be drawn through all three points.

if three points are on the same plane, they can be connected by a line.
