Question

The percentage increase in the area of a rectangle if each of its sides is increased by 20% is.

Answer 1

The percentage increase in the area of a rectangle is 44% if each of its sides is increased by 20%.

What is a rectangle?

It is defined as two-dimensional geometry in which the angle between the adjacent sides is 90 degrees. It is a type of quadrilateral.

It is defined as the area occupied by the rectangle in two-dimensional planner geometry.

The area of a rectangle can be calculated using the following formula:

Rectangle area = length x width

New length = (120x/100)  m

New breadth = (120y/100)  m

New area = (6x/5 × 6y/5) m²

The difference between the original area = xy

new area 36xy/25

Percentage increase = (11xy/25 1/xy x 100)

= 44%

Thus, the percentage increase in the area of a rectangle is 44% if each of its sides is increased by 20%.
