Answer:
[tex]A=4w^2+32w+400[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
-Given the castle dimensions is 25in by 16 in.
-And the moat's width is w:
The moat's width will increase the castle's dimension bytwice it's width, 2w:
#The castles area is thus calculated as:
[tex]A=lw\\\\=(25+2w)(16+2w)\\\\=400+80w+32w+4w^2\\\\=4w^2+32w+400[/tex]
Hence, the combined area of the boat is given as [tex]A=4w^2+32w+400[/tex]
