Question

find the area of the rectangle. (3y + 1) miles 26 miles

Explanation:

Step1: Recall area formula

The area formula for a rectangle is $A = l\times w$, where $l$ is the length and $w$ is the width.

Step2: Identify length and width

Here, $l = 26$ miles and $w=(3y + 1)$ miles.

Step3: Calculate area

$A=26\times(3y + 1)=26\times3y+26\times1 = 78y+26$ square - miles.

Answer:

$(78y + 26)$ square miles
