If the width and length of a rectangle are both increased by 10%, by what percent does the area of the rectangle increase?
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

10%

Step-by-step explanation:

We know Perimeter of rectangle

= 2 (Length + Width)

If width and length are increased by 10%

New length= L + 10/100L = (1.1) L

New width = W + 10/100W = (1.1) W

Perimeter = 2 [(1.1) L + (1.1) W]

Perimeter = 2 (1.1) (L + W)

Perimeter = (2.2) (L + W)

Increase in perimeter = 2.2 (L + W) - 2 (L + W)

The increase in Perimeter = 0.2 (L + W)

Percent increase

= 0.2 (L + W)/2 (L + W) × 100

= 0.2/2 × 100

= 0.1 × 100

= 10%

I hope this helped and if it did, please mark as Brainliest.

Which typing time is the fastest? A. 320 words in 8 minutes; B. 600 words in 12 minutes; C. 350 words in 10 minutes; D. 225 word
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

B - 600 words in 12 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

So most of this has to do with division. So let's look at answer one

320 words in 8 mins

320/8 = 40 words per minute.

600 words in 12 minutes

600/12 = 50 words per minute

350 words in 8 minutes

350/8 = 35 words per minute

And finally, 225 words in 5 minutes

225/5 = 45 words per minute. Thus, the answer is B
