Question

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 length (longer dimension) of the new garden?

a. 14 m wide
b. 15 m wide
c. 16 m wide
d. 17 m wide

Answer 1

10*13=130
(10+3)(13+3)=13*16=208
The length of the new garden is the 13+3 which is 16.
So c should be the right answer.
