Answer to Problem 6PSA
No, she did not succeed in making the size of the garden twice as large.
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
Side of a square garden
Formula used:
Area of a rectangle ( A1 ) = length
Where
Area of a square
Calculation:
We know that the garden is in the shape of the square.
Therefore, the area of the garden will be given as follows:
Now, G wishes to double the size of the garden.
This means, new area of the garden
G decides to double the length and double the breadth.
New length
New breadth
Now,
From (i) and (ii), we get that the two areas are not equal.
Hence, G did not succeed in making the size of the garden twice as large by doubling the length and the breadth.
