Answer»

⇒ Let the side of the square be 100 cm

⇒ Area of the square = 100 × 100 = 10000 cm2

⇒ As side of the square is INCREASED by 6%, the new vaue of side = 100 + (6% of 100) = 100 + 6 = 106 cm

⇒ New area of the square = 106 × 106 = 11236 cm2

⇒ Percentage increase in area = [(Final Area - ACTUAL Area)/Actual Area] × 100%

⇒ [(11236 - 10000)/10000] × 100% = (1236/100)% = 12.36%

REQUIRED Percentage = 12.36%
