What exactly are you asking. Are you asking for area or perimeter?
Answer:
Area: 40
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area of a parallelogram you multiply the base times the height, or the length times the height. This is why you multiply 5x8 to get 40. The substitution could be 5 x 8 = X
X is the area.

Answer: Yes they are equivalent</h3>
==============================================
Work Shown:
Expand out the first expression to get
(a-3)(2a^2 + 3a + 3)
a(2a^2 + 3a + 3) - 3(2a^2 + 3a + 3)
2a^3 + 3a^2 + 3a - 6a^2 - 9a - 9
2a^3 + (3a^2-6a^2) + (3a-9a) - 9
2a^3 - 3a^2 - 6a - 9
Divide every term by 2 so we can pull out a 2 through the distributive property
2a^3 - 3a^2 - 6a - 9 = 2(a^3 - 1.5a^2 - 3a - 4.5)
This shows that (a-3)(2a^2 + 3a + 3) is equivalent to 2(a^3 - 1.5a^2 - 3a - 4.5)

Sorry if it’s wrong
Hope this helped *smiles*
