25% (1/4) of 8 meters is 2 meters (8 meters divided into fourths equals 2 meters). Therefore 8 meters increased by 25% is 10 meters because 25% of 8 meters is 2 meters, and 8 meters + 2 meters = 10 meters.

The answer is 10 meters. You first need to find the 25% of 8. For this you can use the operation: (8 * 25) / 100. That will give you 2 as a result. Just add 2 + 8. Good luck!
