Answer:

4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We can consider the orignial square's sides to be x, so the area of the original figure:

The new flower bedś sides will be x and x+8, so the area of the new figure will be x^2+8x.

A= L*W

We know that the new area is 3 times the old one. So the equation will be:

x^2+8x=3x^2

our answer will be x=4.

Therefore, the length of the side of the old flower bed is 4 ft.

Answer:

4 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can consider the orignial square's sides to be x, so area of the original figure: x^{2}

The new rectangle's sides will be x and x+8, so the area of the new figure will be x^2+8x.

We know that the new area is 3 times the old one. So our equation will be:

x^2+8x=3x^2

our answer will be x=4.

Therfore, the length of the side of the old flower bed is 4 ft.
