length=10cm
breadth=8cm
Perimeter=2(10+8)cm
=36cm
length=(10cm+x)
breadth=(8cm+x)
Perimeter=2(10+x+8+x)cm
=2(2x+18)cm
=4x+36cm
let 4x+36cm be equation 1
Given perimeter=2×36
=72cm
let 72 be equation 2
therefore,from equation 1 and equation 2 we get 4x+36=72
4x=72-36
x=36/4
x=9
therefore length of the new rectangle=10+9=19cm
breadth of the new rectangle= 8+9=17cm
Area of a rectangle=(l×b)
Area of the new rectangle=(19×17)cm^2
=323cm^2

Given length = 10 cm
Breadth = 8 cm
Perimeter =2(10+8)=36 cm.
Givenboth increased by x
Length will be. 10+x
Breadth will be 8+x
Perimeter = 2( 10+8+2x)
=36+4x
Given perimeter is doubled
36+4x =2(36)
4x=36
x =9
Hence,
Length =10+9=19 cm
Breadth =8+9=17 cm.
Area = 19*17= 323 cm^2
Breadth = 8 cm
Perimeter =2(10+8)=36 cm.

Length will be. 10+x
Breadth will be 8+x
Perimeter = 2( 10+8+2x)
=36+4x
Given perimeter is doubled
36+4x =2(36)
4x=36
x =9
Hence,
Length =10+9=19 cm
Breadth =8+9=17 cm.
Area = 19*17= 323 cm^2
