Area, Perimeter, Factoring & Distributive Property

Front

What is the distributive property?

Back

The distributive property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac. It allows you to multiply a single term by two or more terms inside a set of parentheses.

Front

Simplify using the distributive property: 3(2x + 4)

Back

6x + 12

Front

What is the formula for the area of a rectangle?

Back

Area = length × width.

Front

Calculate the area of a rectangle with length 5 and width 3.

Back

Area = 5 × 3 = 15.

Front

What is perimeter?

Back

Perimeter is the total distance around a two-dimensional shape.

Front

Calculate the perimeter of a rectangle with length 4 and width 6.

Back

Perimeter = 2(length + width) = 2(4 + 6) = 20.

Front

What does it mean to factor an expression?

Back

Factoring an expression means to break it down into simpler components that, when multiplied together, give the original expression.

Front

Factor the expression: 6x + 9.

Back

3(2x + 3).

Front

What is an equivalent expression?

Back

An equivalent expression is one that has the same value as another expression, even though it may look different.

Front

Find an equivalent expression for 4(2x + 1).

Back

8x + 4.
