Answer:

Length = 40 feet

Width =30 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a  rectangular patio measures 20 feet by 30 feet.

To find the area of first patio.

Area = length * breadth

 = 20 * 30 = 600 square feet

<u>To find the value of x</u>

It is given that new area will be the double the area of first patio.

Here area = 2 * 600 = 1200 square feet

Here length = 30 + x

width = 20 + x

Area = (30 +x)(20 + x) = 1200

x² + 50x + 600 =1200

x² + 50x - 600 = 0

By solving this quadratic equation we get,

x = 10 and x = -60

take positive value x = 10

<u>To find the dimensions of new patio</u>

New length = 30 + x = 30 + 10 = 40 feet

width= 20 + x = 20 + 10 = 30 feet
