Problem

Six rectangles each with a common base width of $2$ have lengths of $1, 4, 9, 16, 25$, and $36$. What is the sum of the areas of the six rectangles?

$\textbf{(A) }91\qquad\textbf{(B) }93\qquad\textbf{(C) }162\qquad\textbf{(D) }182\qquad \textbf{(E) }202$

Solution

The sum of the areas is equal to $2\cdot1+2\cdot4+2\cdot9+2\cdot16+2\cdot25+2\cdot36$. This is equal to $2(1+4+9+16+25+36)$, which is equal to $2\cdot91$. This is equal to our final answer of $\boxed{\textbf{(D)}~182}$.
