Answer 1

The number sentence that shows how the distributive property can be used to represent the area of the entire rectangle (both rectangles together) is:

11(6+9)

This sentence indicates that you can first add the widths (6 and 9) together and then multiply by the common length (11), which effectively calculates the total area of the two rectangles combined using the distributive property.
