Question

If we add one unit to the length (l) of a rectangle that has width (w), what is its new area (NA) in terms of its old area (A)?

NA = A x w
NA = A + w
NA = A + l
NA = A

Answer 1

NA = A + W

By adding one unit to length, we increase the overall area by the width of the rectangle. This is because the formula for the area of a rectangle is A = l x w. So, NA = (l + 1) x w = (l x w) + w = A + w.
