The length and breath of a rectangle incress 20%and its with his decreased by 20%how much percent will its area change
Answers
Answer:
decrease by 8 %
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'I' be the length lncrease = 20%
New length = 120100l=65l
Let b be the width. Decrease = 20%
New width = 80100b=45b
Original area = lb
New area = 65l×45b=2425lb
Change in area = lb−2425lb=125lb
Percentage in decrease = 100×125= 4%
Given :
- The length and breath of a rectangle increased 20% and its with his decreased by 20%.
To find :
- It's area change =?
Formula Used :
- Area of Rectangle = length x breadth
Step-by-step explanation :
It is Given that,
Length is increased by 20%.
So, 100 + 20 × l = 120 × l
•°• New length = 120 × l/100 = 1.2 × l
Now,
Breadth is decreased by 20 %.
So, 100 - 20 × b = 80 × b
•°• New breadth = 80 × b/100 = 0.8 × b
Now, We have to find the new area,
As We know that,
Area of Rectangle = length x breadth
Substituting the values in the above formula, we get,
= 1.2l × 0.8b
= 0.96lb.
Therefore, New area = 0.96lb.
Now,
Decreased in Area,
= Original area - New area / Original area
Substituting the values, we get,
= lb - 0.96lb/lb
= 0.04
= 4%.
Therefore, It's area change = 4%.
