= x × x = x²

The product of the ages of Lara’s best friends will be (x-2)(x+2).

Therefore, the expression that can be used to calculate the square of Lara’s age and the product of ages of Lara’s best friends is x² + (x-2)(x+2)

to find an area, you have to do length x width.

in this case, it would be 12 ft x 4 ft = 48 sq. ft
