A room has 2 sections as shown in the picture below. Which expression uses the Distributive Property to find the total area of the room?

Question

(A rectangle is divided into two smaller rectangles by a vertical line. The vertical height of the rectangles is 14. To the left, the larger of the two smaller rectangles has a width of 8. To the right, the smaller of the two rectangles has a width of 4.)

A.14 + (8 × 4)

B.14 × (8 + 4)

C.14 × 8 x 4(My answer)

D.14 × 8 × 14 × 4

Answer 1

well, almost
look the area of the big one is 14*8
and the area of the little one is 14*4
so
total area = 14*8 + 14*4
NOW what does distributive property say?
a*b + a*c = a * (b+c)

Answer 2

and you could always check it because from the start when you DREW the RECTANGLE you knew
area = 14*12
