Respuesta :

The new area of the rectangular fence is w^2 + 15w + 54. Option C

What is the area?

The formula for area of a rectangle is given as;

Area = length × width

From the information given, we have that;

  • Length = 3 + w
  • Dimensions should increase by 6 feet

width = w + 6

length = 3 + w + 6 = 9 + w

Substitute into the formula for area

Area = (w + 6) ( 9 + w)

expand the bracket

Area = 9w + w^2 + 54 + 6w

collect like terms

Area = w^2 + 9w + 6w + 54

Area = w^2 + 15w + 54

Thus, the new area of the rectangular fence is w^2 + 15w + 54. Option C
