Question

The lengths of the sides of a rectangular rug are 2 feet more than the widths. If Sammy decides to buy a new rug whose sides are all 4 feet longer than the original rug, write and expression that represents the area of the new rug.

Answer 1

Original Rectangle = W*(W+2)
W^2+2W
New Rectangle = (W+4)*(W+6)
W^2+10W+24

Area of New Rug = Old Rug + 8*Width + 24
