A photo is 8 cm wide and 12 cm long.The length and width are incresed by an equal amount in order to double the area of the photo.what are the dimensions of the new photo?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first you have A=(l)(w) A=(8)(12) increased by same amount "x" A = (8+x)(12+x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you understand how this works?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(8+x)(12+x)=192

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

? i dont know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y dont i know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because i dont have how much you added to your new dimensions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to get the area

OpenStudy (anonymous):

unless this is your equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dobled the area

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and you want me to find x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o you doubled okies

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8*2 12*2 (16)(24) =A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you doubled the measurements right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8*12=96 96*2=192

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so just figure that out you get your answer (length) (width)= area

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you doubled both measure ments (length *2) (width *2) = Area

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this understandable?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes.Thank you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well i gtg now sleep :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good night

OpenStudy (anonymous):
