Question

if both length and the breadth of a rectangle are increased by 50% each, what would be the net increase in its area?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let length be x

breadth be y

area=xy

increase x+x/2=3x/2

and breadth y+y/2=3y/2

new area will be 3x/2×3y/2

3/2(xy) so increase in the area is by 3/2 xy -xy =xy/2

so increase in the area will be 50% hope it helps you thanks
