Answer:
New area is 175 42/45 feet 2

Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Length I= 15 1/4
To proper fraction = 61/4 feet
Width W= 8 11/15
To proper fraction = 131/15 feet
Extention=12/3
To proper fraction = 5/3

Dimensions of new rectangle
Length =61/4+5/3 = 183+20/12
LCM = 12 = 203/12

Width = 131/15+5/3=131+25/15
LCM= 15 = 156/15

Area =203/12*156/15==31668/180
=31668/180
= 7917/45
= 175 42/45 feet 2
