The answer is 492.307
The number after the thousandths is 9 - greater than 5 - so we round 6 up to 7.
Area of a rectangle = length (l) * width (w)
A = 30ft * 20ft
A = 600 sq ft
Now the width of a sidewalk that surroundeds it = 3 ft
so now the area of the rectangle with sidewalk= 30+3ft * 20+3ft
A = (33*23) ft
A = 759 sg ft
Area of the sidewalk = 759 - 600
A = 159 sq ft
I'll do the first two to get you started
===============================================
Problem 1
A = 3 = starting value
B = 10 = ending value
C = percent change
C = [ (B - A)/A ] * 100%
C = [ (10-3)/3 ] * 100%
C = (7/3) * 100%
C = 2.3333333 * 100%
C = 233.33333%
C = 233.3%
The positive C value means we have a percent increase. If C was negative, then we'd have a percent decrease.
<h3>Answer: 233.3% increase</h3>
===============================================
Problem 2
A = 9 = start value
B = 20 = end value
C = percent change
C = [ (B - A)/A ] * 100%
C = [ (20-9)/9 ] * 100%
C = (11/9)*100%
C = 1.2222222222*100%
C = 122.22222222%
C = 122.2%
<h3>Answer: 122.2% increase</h3>
