If the length of a rectangle is increased by 10% and its breadth is decreased by 10%, the change in its area will be:
let's say length is 100 and width is also 100 hence area will be $$10^{4}$$ Â $$unit^{2}$$
after 10% increase, length will be 110 and 10% decrease in width, it will be 90 and area will be 9900Â Â $$unit^{2}$$
%change in area will be = $$\frac{100}{10000}\times100$$ = 1%
