The diagram is not provided, so it is not possible to determine which number sentence shows how the distributive property can be used to represent the area of the blue rectangle.
The diagram is a rectangle. The height is 9 and one side is split into a long rectangle VERTICALLY and that is 6. The other half is 11.
Based on the given information, the blue rectangle can be represented as the product of the height (9) and the sum of the lengths of the two parts of the side (6 + 11). Therefore, the correct number sentence to represent the area of the blue rectangle using the distributive property is:
C) 11(6 + 9)
C) 11(6 + 9)
