The width of the prism is (2x − 2) ft, and its height is (x + 5) ft. The area of the base of the prism is (2x2 + 6x − 8) ft2.

2x^2+8x-10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Width= (2x -2) ft

Heigth=  (x + 5) ft

The area of the base is given as

Area= width * heigth

Area=  (2x -2)* (x + 5)

open bracket

Area= 2x^2+10x-2x-10

collect like terms

Area= 2x^2+8x-10
