Question

Rowniel’s garden is shown below. If he increases the length and width of each section of his garden by 2 feet, what is the area, in square feet, of Rowniel’s expanded tulip section?

Answer 1

180 square ft

Explanation:

width of roses section = 80/10 = 8. so tulips section width also = 8.

length of sunflowers section = 384/24 = 16. so tulips section length = 16.

tulips section = 8 X 16 = 128 square ft.

width is increased by 2 feet. it now is 8 + 2 = 10.

length is increased by 2 feet. it is now 16 + 2 = 18.

area of expanded tulips section = 10 X 18 = 180 square ft.
