The total area of the sign that needs to be painted is equal to the sum of the areas of the 3 small squares and the 2 large squares.
Area of one small square: s^2
Area of 3 small squares: 3s^2
Area of one large square: S^2
Area of 2 large squares: 2S^2
Therefore, the expression for the total area of the sign that needs to be painted is:
3s^2 + 2S^2
A sign is being painted that includes 3 small squares with a side length of s and 2 large ones with a side length of S. write an expression to find the total area of the sign that needs to be panted
