Soil liquefaction describes a phenomenon whereby a saturated or partially saturated  substantially loses strength and stiffness in response to an applied stress, usually earthquake shaking or other sudden change in stress condition, causing it to behave like a liquid.

6. The original length, L, and original width, W. of a rectangular garden are BOTH increased by 3 feet each.
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

A rectangle is a two-dimensional quadrilateral.

The area is given as:

      Area of a rectangle  = length x width

     Perimeter = 2(L+ W)

where L is the length and W is the width

Condition:

If L and W are increased by 3 feet each;

      New length  = L + 3

      New width  = W + 3

Area of new rectangle;

                   Area  = (L + 3) x (W + 3)

                             = LW + 3L + 3W + 9

                                     

Perimeter of new rectangle;

                    Perimeter = 2(L+3 + W + 3)

                                       = 2(L+W +6)
