One side of a square is increased by 30%. TO maintain the same area , the other side will be decreased by percent ?

• If x is initial side of square, and b is final breadth , then
  x*x = 1.3*x*b
  b= x/1.3= 0.77
  
  so other side should be reduced by 23%

• let side is x
  tham area x*x
  when one side increased by 30% and other side decreased
  than
  1.3x*y=x*x
  y=x*x/1.3x
  y=0.7692x
  i.e decreased by 100-76.92=23.08
