Question

Shane drew 3 squares with each side equal to n units. For each square, he does something different to it according to each part below.

Part A: Shane increased the length and width of the square by m units each. What will be the change in the area of the original square? Show your work.

Answer 1

i said that the area will increase.

Answer 2

are there any options??

Answer 3

no.

Answer 4

~well ok, since he increases the length and width of each square by 'm', then the measure of each will be n+m ~ so yahh the area will increase, because the formula for area is length x width, and if both the length and with increase then the area will definitly increase too ~ make sense??~

Answer 5

yup what about this...
Shane increased the length of the square by m units and decreased its width by m units. What will be the change in the area of the square? Show your work.

Answer 8

gimme a sec ..

Answer 9

I have this for part a....
(l + m) x (w + m) x h
this for part B...
(l - m) x (w - m) x h
and this for part c...
(l + m) x (w - m) x h

Answer 10

i think it would stay the same.

Answer 11

part a: increases in area because u are adding the same value twice,

part b: decrease in area because you are subtracting the same value twice

part c: area remains the same, because after u add that value u subtract it again...so its stays the same

Answer 12

it would actually decrease o.o
(10 + 5) x (10 - 5) x 10 = 750
10 x 10 x 10 = 1000
