Answer:

x² + 50x + 600

Step-by-step explanation:

The length changes from 20 yards to 20 + x. The width changes from 30 to 30+x.

The area will be A = l*w = (20+x)(30+x).

Use the distributive property to find the polynomial simplified.

A = (20+x)(30+x) = 600 + 30x + 20x + x² = 600 + 50x + x²

Write the polynomial in descending order by writing the exponents first.

x² + 50x + 600
