The length of a rectangle is increased to 2 times its original size and its width is increased to 3 times its original size. If the area of the new rectangle is equal to 1800 square meters, what is the area of the original rectangle?  Choose the correct choice from the following choices:
A) 300 square meters B) 400 square meters C) 500 square meters D) 600 square meters E) 700 square meters
If L and W be the original length and width of the rectangle and its area is given by   L ? W   After increase the length becomes 2 L and the width becomes 3 W. The area is then given by (2 L) ? (3 W) and is known. Hence   (2 L) ? (3 W) = 1800   Solve the above equation to find L ? W   6 L ? W = 1800   L ? W = 1800 / 6=
