If you increase the length of a rectangle by 50% and the width by 100% by what percent will the area of this rectangle increase

Respuesta :

Answer:

200%

Step-by-step explanation:

if you substitute in numbers you'll find this as the answer.

as an example:

suppose the sides of the rectangle was 1 unit long.

area before change: 1 * 1 = 1

then, the length gets increase by 50% making it 1.5 ( 50% of 1 is 0.5, then you add it onto 1, 1 + 0.5 = 1.5 )

the width gets increased by 100% making it 2 ( 1 + 1 = 2 )

new area: 1.5 * 2 = 3

1 increased by 200% is 3, therefore the answer is 200%
