Question
If the width of a rectangle is increased by 25% while the length remains constant, the resulting area is what percentage of the original area ?25%75%125%Cannot be determined by the information givenIncrease by 40%
Solution
The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its width. If the width is increased by 25%, the new width becomes 1.25 times the original width.
Since the length remains constant, the new area becomes 1.25 times the original area.
Therefore, the resulting area is 125% of the original area.
