SOLUTION: If length is made 100 feet longer, by how many square feet will the area be increased?
area = Length (x) x width (y)
area = x x y, area = xy
area = (x + 100) x y = xy + 100

Question 340367: If length is made 100 feet longer, by how many square feet will the area be increased?
area = Length (x) x width (y)
area = x x y, area = xy
area = (x + 100) x y = xy + 100
area is increased by 100
am I correct? Answer by vleith(2983) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Assume a rectanglular shape
We know that the largest rectabgle area for a given perimeter is a square.
Add in 100 more feet of perimeter.
100/4 means each side of the square is now 25 feet longer than before.
Difference is then
