Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates

But it is only a short walk.

Here is a rather simple math problem you can probably do in your head but I was always taught to show all my work.  All I need here is the final number in the checker.  If you have trouble with this, find an 8th grader.  :-) 

Note:  When I placed this cache, I found an old black bison tube.  I left it and whoever wants to take it, may.  

The length of a rectangle is increased to 2 times its original size and its width is increased to 3 times its original size. If the area of the new rectangle is equal to 1800 square meters, what is the area of the original rectangle?

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
