Question

The rectangle shown has a length (l) of 9 and a width (w) of 7.5. A second rectangle has a length of l + 2.5 and a width of w – 2. Find the area of the second rectangle.

A. 33 square units
B. 34 square units
C. 63.25 square units
D. 67.5 square units

Answer 1

11.5*5.5=63.25

Answer 2

Using the values for L and w you were given: l=9, w=7.5
Just put them into the second rectangle's equations.
l+2.5=9+2.5=11.5
w-2=7.5-2=5.5
so the area is 11.5 * 5.5 = 63.25

Answer 3

6*5*7=210
