Question
What will happen to the area of a rectangle, if its length and breadth both are trebled?
Solution
Let the original length of the rectangle = l and its original breadth = b
∴ its original area = length x breadth i.e A = l – b i. e.
Since,
Increased length -=3l
and, increased breadth = 3b
∴ New area = 3l x 3b = 9 x l x b [∵A = l x b]
⇒ Area of the new rectangle = 9 times than area of original rectangle
