Answer 1

Answer:

Dimension of the extended stage is; length = 6 m and width = 2x m

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the rectangular outdoor = length x width

New area = area of the outdoor + area of the extended stage

                = 216 + 12x

                = 6(36 + 2x)

New area = 6 (36 + 2x)

So that;

The dimension of the rectangular outdoor = 36 x 6

i.e length = 36 m and width = 6 m

So that the dimension of the extended stage = length x width

                                     = (6 x 2x) m

i.e length = 6 m and width = 2x m
