Standardized Training: The FOIL Method in Landscape Design

A landscape architecture firm requires all interns to document their mathematical procedures for transparency in project billing. You are asked to write an essay explaining how to find the area of a rectangular garden plot with dimensions (x+5)(x + 5) feet and (x+9)(x + 9) feet using the FOIL method. Your response must define what each letter in the FOIL acronym stands for, show the specific mathematical product for each of the four steps as applied to these dimensions, and provide the final simplified trinomial expression for the area.
