You have a rectangular garden along the back of your home. You put up fencing to enclose three sides of the garden - one long side and the two short sides. One long side is enclosed by the back of your home.

You use 72m of fencing for the three sides. Let s represent the length (in meters) of a short side of the garden. Write a simplified expression for the area of the garden.

Short side: s

Long side: 72 - 2s

Area: short side x long side

Area = s(72 - 2s) = 72s - 2s2
