Answer:

Each dimension increased by 3 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the original rectangle = 4 * 6 = 24 square feet

Increased dimension = x ft

New length = 6 + x

New width = 4 +x

New area = (6 + x)(4 +x)    {Use FOIL method}

                = 6*4 + 6*x + x*4 + x*x

                = 24 + 6x + 4x + x²

                = x² + 10x + 24

New area = 24 + 39

x² + 10x + 24 = 63

x² +10x + 24 - 63 = 0

x² + 10x  - 39 = 0

x² + 13x - 3x  - 3*13 = 0

x (x + 13) - 3(x + 13) = 0

(x + 13)(x -3) = 0   {Ignore x + 13, as it gives negative value}

x - 3 = 0

x = 3

lesya [120]

Answer:

90deg

Step-by-step explanation:

If the angles are supplementary, that means mA + mB = 180*

we know that

mA = (2x + 8)deg

mB = (2x + 8)deg = mA

mA + mB = 180deg

mB + mB = 2mB = 180deg

mB = 90deg

Note, that we did not need to compute x even, because the angles were the same.
