Question

A rectangle has a length of 8 feet and a width of 6 feet. If its length and width increase by 50% each, what is the area of the new rectangle?

Answer 1

The increased length would be 12 feet and the width would be 9 feet.
12*9 is 108

Answer 2

108. 50% of 8 is 4 and of 6 is 3, so it would be 12 x 9, which is 108 feet. Hope this helps!!
