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?	Pick:
A) 100 square meters B) 200 square meters C) 300 square meters D) 400 square meters E) 500 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=
