Question

Adiana has a rectangular garden that measures 9 m wide and 13 m long. She wants to increase the area to 192 m^2 by increasing the width and the height by
the same length. What will be the new length of the garden? A. 16 m B. 15 m C. 14 m D. 13 m

Answer 1

length of first rectangle = 13m , width = 9m
area = 13 *9 =117 m^2-----(1)
increase in area = 192m^2----(2)
area of the new rectangle = 117 + 192 = 364 m^2----(3)

i
l = 13 , width = w
area = 364 m^2
l*w =364
13 * w= 364

find the width ?
and find the difference between first width and second width

Answer 2

do u understand !

Answer 3

I think so, so are you saying the answer is 13 m?

Answer 4

yea its 13

Answer 5

Thanks

Answer 6

np

Answer 7

It was 16

Answer 8

w = 364/13
new width = 28

length is 13 , it is same according to the problem

Answer 9

You misread the question. The NEW area was 192, so X the increase in both length and width is 3. Solving for the root that makes sense. The new length is 13 + 3 = 16
