Answer:
20 % increase in Area
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Original Rectangle Area = 150cm ²
2. 20% of 15 is 3
3. Increased length is equal to 18
4. Increased Rectangle Area = 180cm ²
5. Ten percent of 150 = 15.
6. 15×2(ten percent) = 30. Which give us 150+30 equal to 180.
7. 2 ten percent equals 20%
8. Answer is 20%.
