\"L=B%2B23\"
\n" ); document.write( "The area of the plot is,
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=L%2AB=%28B%2B23%29B\"
\n" ); document.write( "So then when the change is made to length and breadth,
\n" ); document.write( "\"A%5Bnew%5D=%28L-15%29%28B%2B7%29=A-360\"
\n" ); document.write( "Substituting,
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28B%2B23-15%29%28B%2B7%29=%28B%2B23%29B-360\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28B%2B8%29%28B%2B7%29=B%5E2%2B23B-360\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"B%5E2%2B15B%2B56=B%5E2%2B23B-360\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-8B=-416\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"B=52\"\"m\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then,
\n" ); document.write( "\"L=52%2B23\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"L=75\"\"m\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
