RECOGNIZE THAT EXPANDED EXPRESSIONS ARE EQUIVALENT

STEP 1: Draw a rectangle that is 8 centimeters wide and more than 3 centimeters long on a piece of paper. Then cut out the rectangle.

STEP 2: Find the area of the rectangle in terms of p.
8p + 24 cm
Explanation:
Area of rectangle = Length x Breadth
= (p+3) x 8
= 8p + 24 cm
