Question

The length of a rectangle is increased to 2 times its original size and its width is increased to 3 times its original size. If the area of the new rectangle is equal to 1800 square meters, what is the area of the original rectangle?

Answer 1

→ Let the original rectangle be L and B.

→ Its area = L×B.

→ When the length being doubled and the width tribled we have :

$→ 2L×3B = 1800$

$→ LB = \frac{1800}{6}$

$→ 300 sq m.$

Hence, The area of the original rectangle was 300 sq m.
