The question says "...by increasing the width and length by the same amount."

Answer 7

Answer 8

no I wouldn't and I would like you to answer my questions

Answer 9

Answer 10

So you already have the answer... I thought you want the steps?

Answer 11

Never mind then, you have answered yourself's question

Answer 13

Tyler has a rectangular garden that measures 10 m wide by 13 m long. He wants to increase the area to 208 m2 by increasing the width and length by the same amount. What will be the width (shorter dimension) of the new garden?

13 m wide
14 m wide
15 m wide
16 m wide
See this one here is asking for a shorter dimension

Answer 14

And then?

Answer 15

im trying to find out if my answer is correct because i think both are 16 but im not sure and i dont want to be wrong

Answer 16

You just said the dimensions were 16X13?

Answer 17

Then why are both 16?

Answer 18

but see thats the thing which one is the short dimension and the long dimension

Answer 19

So 16 is the long and 13 is the short? I thought that was obvious?

Answer 20

ohh i thought that it was the other way around

Answer 21
