The dimensions of a rectangular garden were 4m by 5m. each dimension was increased by the same amount the garden then had an area of 56m^2 find the dimension of the new garden

The dimension of new garden is 7 meter by 8 meter

Solution:

The dimensions of a rectangular garden were 4m by 5m

Length = 4 m

Width = 5 m

Each dimension was increased by the same amount the garden then had an area of 56 square meter

Let "x" be the amount of increase

Then,

Length = 4 + x

Width = 5 + x

Also, given that,

New area = 56 square meter

The area of rectangle is given as:

Substituting the values we get,

Let us solve the above equation by quadratic formula

Using the above formula,

a = 1 and b = 9 and c = -36

Substituting the values of a = 1 ; b = 9 ; c = -36 in above quadratic formula we get,

We get two solutions,

Since dimension cannot be negative, ignore x = -12

Thus solution is x = 3

Length = 4 + x = 4 + 3 = 7

Width = 5 + x = 5 + 3 = 8

Thus dimension of new garden is 7 meter by 8 meter
