Problem

A rectangle has a height of x+4 and a width of x2+3x+2.
Express the area of the entire rectangle.
Your answer should be a polynomial in standard form.
Six rectangles of different sizes make up a larger rectangle. At the top left, a rectangle has the width of x squared and a length of x. At the top middle rectangle, it has a width of three x with a length of x. At the top right rectangle, it has a width of two and a length of x. At the bottom left, a rectangle has the width of x squared and a length of four. At the bottom middle rectangle, it has a width of three x with a length of four. At the bottom right rectangle, it has a width of two and a length of four.
