Question

Last spring, Bob built a rectangular pen for his pigs that measured 6 feet long and 4.5 feet wide. He wants to enlarge the pig pen this year. The new pen will be 2 feet longer and 1.5 feet wider. What will be the area of the new pig pen?

Answer 1

48... I believe

Answer 2

A= h•w

6+2 = 8 feet long
4.5+1.5= 6 feet wide

8*6= 48 ft

Answer: 48 feet
