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
