Answer 1

Answer:

2 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The length and width of a rectangular garden is 10 m and 3 m respectively.

He will double the area of the garden by adding the same number of meters to both the length and the width. Area = 2(10 × 3) = 60 m².

Let x is amount of increase in the length and width such that area will be :

(10+x)(3+x) =60

30+10x+3x+x² = 60

x²+13x-30=0

x²+15x-2x-30=0

x(x+15)-2(x+15)=0

x=2 and x = -15

Neglecting negative value, he aded 2 m toboth length and width of the garden.
