A patient's room measures 10 ft wide by 15 ft long. by how much will the room increase if it were 1ft longer and 1ft wide
I would assume the measurements would become 11ft wide and 16ft long
so, 11*16 - 10*15 = ____
unless you want the % increase ...
To calculate how much the room will increase in size if it were 1 foot longer and 1 foot wider, we need to find the difference in area before and after the increase.
Step 1: Calculate the current area of the patient's room:
Area = Length × Width
Area = 10 ft × 15 ft
Area = 150 square feet
Step 2: Calculate the new area after increasing the length and width by 1 foot each:
New Length = Current Length + 1 ft = 15 ft + 1 ft = 16 ft
New Width = Current Width + 1 ft = 10 ft + 1 ft = 11 ft
New Area = New Length × New Width
New Area = 16 ft × 11 ft
New Area = 176 square feet
Step 3: Calculate the increase in area:
Increase in Area = New Area - Current Area
Increase in Area = 176 square feet - 150 square feet
Increase in Area = 26 square feet
Therefore, the room will increase in size by 26 square feet if it were 1 foot longer and 1 foot wider.
To find out how much the room will increase if it were 1ft longer and 1ft wider, we need to calculate the difference in area between the original room and the enlarged room.
The original room measures 10 ft wide by 15 ft long, so its area is:
Area = width × length
Area = 10 ft × 15 ft
Area = 150 sq ft
Now, let's calculate the area of the enlarged room. The new dimensions will be 11 ft wide (10 ft + 1 ft) and 16 ft long (15 ft + 1 ft).
Area = width × length
Area = 11 ft × 16 ft
Area = 176 sq ft
To find the increase in area, we subtract the original area from the new area:
Increase in area = new area - original area
Increase in area = 176 sq ft - 150 sq ft
Increase in area = 26 sq ft
Therefore, if the room were 1ft longer and 1ft wider, it would increase by 26 square feet.
