If each dimension of a rectangle decreases by 1, its area will decrease from 2017 to 1917. What will be the area of the rectangle if each of its dimensions increases by 1?
If each dimension of a rectangle decreases by 1,
its area will decrease from 2017 to 1917.
What will be the area of the rectangle
if each of its dimensions increases by 1?
Let ab=2017
decreases by 1 :1917=(a−1)(b−1)1917=ab−(a+b)+1(1)increases by 1 :x=(a+1)(b+1)x=ab+(a+b)+1(2)(1)+(2):1917+x=ab−(a+b)+1+ab+(a+b)+11917+x=2ab+2x=2ab+2−1917x=2ab−1915|ab=2017x=2∗2017−1915x=2119
The area of the rectangle
if each of its dimensions increases by 1 is 2119
