Here , the ratio <em><u>UV:</u></em><em><u>VW</u></em> and <em><u>UT:TS</u></em> will be in proportion , so ;
Putting the given values ;
The <em>approximate increase</em> in Area of the parking lot is about 133%
Area of a rectangle = Length × width
<u>Initial Area of parking lot</u> :
- 75 feets × 150 feets = 11250 ft²
<u>New Area of parking lot</u> :
Width = 75 + 100 = 175 feets
Length = 150 feets
Area = 175 × 150 = 26250 ft²
<u>Percentage increase in </u><u>Area</u><u> </u><u>of lot</u> :
((16250 - 11250) / initial Area) × 100%
(15000 / 11250) × 100% = 133.33%
Therefore, the <em>approximate increase</em> on area of lot is 133%
