Question

Michelle needs to redraw the base of the manor to plan her mission effectively. If the original dimensions are 60 m by 30 m, what will be the new dimensions if each side is increased by 10 meters?

a) 50 m by 20 m
b) 70 m by 40 m
c) 60 m by 30 m
d) 80 m by 50 m

Answer 1

Michelle's manor base will have new dimensions of 70 meters by 40 meters after increasing each side by 10 meters from the original dimensions of 60 meters by 30 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Michelle is planning to redraw the base of the manor and is increasing each dimension by 10 meters, we need to add 10 meters to both the length and the width of the original dimensions. The original dimensions are 60 meters by 30 meters. By adding 10 meters to each side, the new dimensions will become:

• New length = original length + 10 m = 60 m + 10 m = 70 meters
• New width = original width + 10 m = 30 m + 10 m = 40 meters

Therefore, the new dimensions of the manor base would be 70 meters by 40 meters.
