Scale factor of area is the square of the scale factor of length
The required values are;
- The length of one sides of the garage was originally approximately <u>19.2 ft.</u>
- The length of one of the sides of the garage is now approximately <u>23.6 feet</u> long
- The percentage increase in length is approximately <u>22.5 %</u>
Reason:
The given parameters are;
The area of the square garage = 370 ft.²
The area of the new garage has 50% more space
Required;
Part A
The initial side length
The initial side length, given to the nearest tenth, <em>s</em>, is the square root of the area, <em>A</em>, given as follows;
- s = √(370 ft.²) ≈ 19.2 ft.
Part B
The side was increased by 50%, to give,
370 + 0.5×370 = 555
The new area of the garage = 555 ft.²
The side length of the new garage, s = √(555) ≈ 23.6
- The side of the garage now is 23.6 ft.
Part C
The percentage increase is given as follows;
- The percentage increase in length of the side of the garage is approximately 22.5 %
