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? \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let theoriginal length be x
\n" ); document.write( "& the original width be y\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the length is increased two times so it will become 2x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The width is increased 3 times so it will becom 3x
\n" ); document.write( "Area of rectangle is = length * width\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2x*3x= 1800
\n" ); document.write( "6xy = 1800
\n" ); document.write( "xy = 300\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "But x*y is the area of the the rectangle before increase in length and width\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The area of original rectangle = 300 square units\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
