To find the expression for \(4(8t + 2)\) using the area model, we can expand it as follows:
-
Distribute \(4\) to both parts inside the parentheses: \[ 4(8t + 2) = 4 \cdot 8t + 4 \cdot 2 \]
-
Calculate each term: \[ 4 \cdot 8t = 32t \] \[ 4 \cdot 2 = 8 \]
-
Combine both results: \[ 4(8t + 2) = 32t + 8 \]
So, the final expression is: \[ \boxed{32t + 8} \]
