Answer:
56.25%
Explanation:
If a variable X changes by A% and another variable Y changes by B%, then overall net change when the two variables are multiplied is given by :
A + B + AB/100
If the change is “increase” it is positive & if the change is “decrease” it is negative.
In the given question, A = B = 25% ( Both positive as length increase )
And area = Side x Side
Applying our versatile relation :
Net increase in area = 25 + 25 + (25x25)/100 = 56.25%
