Answer:

Width=13cm

Length=18cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Width of the Initial Photograph=9cm

Length of the Initial Photograph=14cm

If width and length are increased by an equal amount, say x

New Width=9+x

New Length=14+x

Area of the new photo is 108 square centimeters greater than the area of the original photo.

Area of Original Photo=14*9=126cm²

Aeea of the New Photo=126+108=234cm²

Therefore:

(9+x)(14+x)=234

126+9x+14x+x²-234=0

x²+23x-108=0

x²+27x-4x-108=0

x(x+27)-4(x+27)=0

(x+27)(x-4)=0

x+27=0 or x-4=0

x=-27 or x=4

Since x≠-27

x=4cm

The dimensions of the new photo are:

Width=9+x=9+4=13cm

Length=14+x=14+4=18cm

What is the area of the figure?
RUDIKE [14]
The area formula for rectangles is lxw. To solve, I would divide the figure up into 3 rectangles- top,middle and bottom, then find the areas and add them together.

Top: 4x13=52 cm^2
Middle: 5x8=40 cm^2
Bottom: 21x10=210 cm^2

(5 is the width of the middle piece. You get it from subtracting. 21-8-8=5. 13 is the width of the top piece. 5+8=13)

52+40+210
=302 cm^2
So your answer is 302 square centimetres.
