a) Shawn's error was that he Multiplied 15 by 2x only. He didn't Multiply 15 by 7
b) The difference, in square feet, between the actual area of Shawn’s garden and the area found using his expression is given as 98 square feet
What is the perimeter?
The perimeter is defined as the sum of all the sides of the figure. Now we have The area in, square feet, of Shawn’s garden is found be calculating 15(2x + 7). Shawn incorrectly says the area can also be found using the expression 30x + 7.
The correct area =15(2x + 7).
= 30x + 105 square feet
The error in Shawn’s expression is
= 15(2x + 7)
= 30x + 7 square feet
Shawn's error was that he Multiplied 15 by 2x only. He didn't Multiply 15 by 7
The difference, in square feet, between the actual area of Shawn’s garden and the area found using his expression is given as
30x + 105 square feet - 30x + 7 square feet
= 30x + 105 - (30x + 7)
= 30x - 30x + 105 - 7
= 98 square feet
