A rectangle with dimensions 7x13 is enlarged by 15%. What are the new dimensions?
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Original Rectangle:
\n" ); document.write( "Area = 7*13 = 91 sq. units.
\n" ); document.write( "Ratio of width to length: 7x:13x
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "New Rectangle:
\n" ); document.write( "Area = 1.15*91 = 104.65 sq units
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "Assuming the dimensions are in the same ratio::
\n" ); document.write( "7x*13x = 104.65
\n" ); document.write( "91x^2 = 104.65
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 1.15
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1.0724
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "New dimensions::
\n" ); document.write( "width = 7x = 7.5067 units
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "length = 13x = 13.9412 units
