Area of rectangle ABCD = 100
(x+3) (x+2) = 100
Multiplying polynomials using FOIL (First, Outer, Inner, Last), we get,
x(x + 5) = 94
Area of square EFGH = (2X + 5) ^ 2 ( since side of a square = (2x+5) )
Multiplying polynomials (2x + 5 ) ^ 2 using FOIL method, we get,
4x (x +5) + 25 = 4 * 94 +25 = 401.
Thus, answer is E.
(x+3) (x+2) = 100

So we have (x+3)(x+2)=100...\(x^2+5x+6=100...x^2+5x=94\)
We are looking for (2x+5)(2x+5)=\(4x^2+20x+25=4(x^2+5x)+25=4*94+25=401\)
E
