The length and width or a rectangular courtyard is 40 feet and 30 feet, respectively. In order to make the courtyard larger, an additional 15 feet is being added to the width

The new area is 1800feet^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Given data

The length and width or a rectangular courtyard is 40 feet and 30 feet

we can calculate the area of the courtyard as

Area= 40*30

Area= 1200 feet^2

when the extra 15 feet is added to the width

the new width is= 30+15= 45feet

The new area is

Area= 40*45

Area= 1800 feet^2

in all the area will increase by 1800-1200= 600feet
