Suppose the length of the vegetable garden is increased by 50%. the new length can be written as (3y + 5) + 1 2(3y + 5) or 1.5(3y + 5). explain why both expressions are correct. then write the new length of the garden in simplified form.

Given:

Length of the garden is represented by :

The length is increased by 50%.

To find the new length.

Solution:

1) The original length =

The increase in length will be = of

⇒

⇒

The new length  = Original length + Increased length =

2) Let the original length = 100%

Increase percent of length = 50%

Total percent of length =

New length = of

⇒

⇒

Thus,  the new length of the garden can be represented by both expression :

or

constants mean the stopped points or the points on a graph that nothing is changing, hope this

step-by-step explanation:

complete the steps to find the area of the trapezoid.

area of rectangle = 256   square units

area of triangle 1 = 24  square units

area of triangle 2 = 16  square units

area of triangle 3 =   96 square units

area of trapezoid = 120  square units
