To Find the Area of a rectangle is length times the width.

Given that enclosure at the zoo is 35 feet long by 18 feet wide. It means the length is 35 feet and the width is 18 feet.

Area of Rectangle=Length × Width

=35×18

=630

The zoo wants to double the area of the enclosure by adding the same distance x to the length and width.

(35+x)×(18+x)=1260

630+35x+18x+x2=1260

x2+53x+630-1260=0

x2+53x-630

Now we will apply the quadratic formula we get

x=10.

The new length is 35+10=45

The new width is 18+10=28.
