Mr. Maxwell built a concrete border around his brick
patio. His patio measures 35 feet by 20 feet. The border
is equal in width on all 4 sides of the patio. If the new
area is 1200 square feet, which of these could be used to
find the new dimensions? A = lw
a)
b)
c)
d)
1200 = (35x)(20x)
1200 + 2x = 35 • 20
1200 – 2x = (35 + x)(20 + x)
1200 = (35 + 2x)(20 + 2x)
