Sides of a rectangle were increased and decreased by 1/4th and 1/3rd respectively. Change in the area?

Mensuration is the branch of mathematics that deals with the measurement of geometric figures and their properties. It is particularly concerned with the calculation of various geometric quantities, such as area, volume, length, and surface area, related to two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes.  Here are some formulas for the area and perimeter of different shapes: Circle: Area = πr2, Perimeter = 2πr Triangle: Area = 1⁄2 × b × h, Perimeter = a + b + c Square: Area = a, Perimeter = 4a Rectangle: Area = l × w, Perimeter = 2(l + w) Parallelogram: Area = b × h, Perimeter =...

Mensuration is the branch of mathematics that deals with the measurement of geometric figures and their properties. It is particularly concerned with the calculation of various geometric quantities, such as area, volume, length, and surface area, related to two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. 

Here are some formulas for the area and perimeter of different shapes:
Circle: Area = πr2, Perimeter = 2πr
Triangle: Area = 1⁄2 × b × h, Perimeter = a + b + c
Square: Area = a, Perimeter = 4a
Rectangle: Area = l × w, Perimeter = 2(l + w)
Parallelogram: Area = b × h, Perimeter = 2(a+b)
Trapezoid: Perimeter = a + b + b + c, Area = 1⁄2( b + b ) x h
Ellipse: Perimeter ≈ 2π ( (a + b) / 2 ), Area = πrr
Hexagon: Perimeter = 6r, Area = (3√3/2 )r
Octagon: Perimeter = 8a, Area = ( 2 + 2√2 )a
