Question

A farmer has a rectangular field that measures 100 feet by 150 feet. He plans to increase the area of the field by 20%. He will do this by increasing the length and width by the same amount, x. Which equation represents the area of the new field? WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST

Answer 1

Answer:

(100 + x) x (150 + x) = 18,000 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

area of a rectangle = length x width

Area of the original field = 15,000

Area after 20% increase = 1.2 x 15,000 = 18,000

Increase i length = 100 + x

increase i width = 150 + x

Area = (100 + x) x (150 + x) = 18,000 ft^2

Answer 2

Answer

C

Step-by-step explanation:

It would be (100+x)(150+x) = 18,000 (incase if the answer isn't C for those)
