Respuesta :

Answer:

D. 25p² - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Each side length of a square = 5p

Length of rectangle = 5p + 1

Width of the rectangle = 5p - 1

Area of rectangle = Length × Width

Area of rectangle = (5p + 1)(5p - 1)

= 5p(5p - 1) +1(5p - 1) (distributive property)

= 25p² - 5p + 5p - 1

Area = 25p² - 1
