The <em>approximate increase</em> in Area of the parking lot is about 133%

Area of a rectangle = Length × width

<u>Initial Area of parking lot</u> :

  • 75 feets × 150 feets = 11250 ft²

<u>New Area of parking lot</u> :

Width = 75 + 100 = 175 feets

Length = 150 feets

Area = 175 × 150 = 26250 ft²

<u>Percentage increase in </u><u>Area</u><u> </u><u>of lot</u> :

((16250 - 11250) / initial Area) × 100%

(15000 / 11250) × 100% = 133.33%

Therefore, the <em>approximate increase</em> on area of lot is 133%

Joan needs to estimate the size of her bedroom so that she can buy enough paint to cover the walls. Two of the walls measure 2.8
labwork [276]

The total area of the room is 37.6376 and the no. of cans required to paint the wall is 3 cans.

The measurement of two of the walls is 2.86 metres and 3.16 metre

Area of the two walls = 2(length x breadth)

Area = 2(2.86 x 3.16) = 18.0752 m²

The measurement of the other two walls is 2.86 metres and 3.42 metres

Area of the two walls = 2(length × breadth)

Area = 2(2.86 × 3.42) = 19.5624 m²

Total area = 18.0752 + 19.5624 = 37.6376 m²

If one can of paint can cover 15 m², the no. of cans required to paint the bedroom will be

No. of cans = Total area/Area covered by one can of paint

No. of cans = 37.6376/15 = 2.5091 = 3 cans (approx.)
