    An original square with side length x is transformed into a rectangle by doubling one side to 2x and decreasing the adjacent side by 2 cm to x-2 cm. The area of the rectangle is 96 sq cm larger than the original square. Solving the equation relating the areas reveals the side length of the original square to be 12 cm, making the dimensions of the resulting rectangle 12 cm by 10 cm.

    If 1 side of a square is doubled and the adjacent is decreasedby 2 cm, the area of the resulting rectangle is 96 sq.

    cm larger than that of the original square. Find the dimension of the rectangle

    A x 2x

    A - 96

    x-2 Solution:

    x x A 2x x 2 A 96 2x x 2 96 A

    equation 1

    simplifying equation 2

    Combine equation 1 and equation 2

    A A x x 2x x 2 96
    x 2 2 x 2 4 x 96 x2 4 x 96 0

    quadratic equation

    By factoring

    x 2 4 x 96 0 x 12 x 8 0 x 12 0 x 12 cm 12 cm x 12 cm 24 cm x 10 cm

    x 8 0 x 8 extraneous (to be omitted)


    dimension of the original square dimension of the rectangle
