A rectangle has a length of 8ft and a width of 6ft. if its length and width increase by 50% each, what is the area of the new rectangle? please help its due today at 2!!

108 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Increasing by 50% means multiplying the original quantities by 1.5, that is

100% + 50% = 150% = 1.5 ( 100% is the original dimensions ), thus

new length = 1.5 × 8 ft = 12 ft

new width = 1.5 × 6 ft = 9 ft

Thus

Area = length × width = 12 × 9 = 108 ft²

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.

there are 70 more legs than eyes at the dog show (196 – 126 = 70). dogs have two more legs than eyes, and humans have the same number of legs as eyes. thus 70 is twice the number of dogs at the show, so the number of dogs is half of 70, which is 35. to get the number of humans, subtract 35 from 63: 63 – 35 = 28.
