Perimeter of a rectangle is increased by 30%. What will be change in area?
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "If either side is increased by 30%, or is the sides are increased proportionally, the area is increased by 69%.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "P = 2L + 2W
\n" ); document.write( "Area = L*W
\n" ); document.write( "1.3*1.3 = 1.69 --> a 69% increase in area\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "But if the aspect ratio (L/W) is also changed, then no answer is possible.
\n" ); document.write( "===========
\n" ); document.write( "eg
\n" ); document.write( "A rectangle is 5 by 10
\n" ); document.write( "Area = 50 sq units, P = 30
\n" ); document.write( "A 30% increase --> P = 39
\n" ); document.write( "If L is changed to 1 and W is 39, the new area is decreased by 26%.
\n" ); document.write( "=======================
\n" ); document.write( "This is another example of people writing math problems who are not intelligent or qualified.\r
