Question

the length of rectangal is increase by15% and breadth decrease by 15%. Let work out the percentage increase or decrease of area.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length be 10

And breadth be 10

Area 100

Now length is increased by 20%

New length 12

And breadth is decreased by 10%

New breadth is 9

New area is 12*9=108

Change in area 108-100= 8

So overall area increases by 8%

____________________________________

2nd method

Use this formula (x+y+xy/100)

Where x,y are percentage change

Use positive for increment

Use negative for decrement.

And observe overall result

In above question

x=20, y= -10

So overall change

(20 -10 +(20)*(-10)/100)

(10- 200/100)

(10- 2)

8

Result is +ve so overall area increases by 8%
