When you increase each dimension by 100%, you are doubling each dimension.

When you double each dimension, the area is multiplied by 2^2 = 4.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For example, let's say we start with a square screen that's 1x1, so the area is 1*1 = 1 square inch.

Now double each dimension to get a 2x2 screen of area 2*2 = 4

Notice how the area jumps from 1 to 4 (1*4 = 4)

Change in Area: 4 - 1 = 3

Divide this by the original: 3/1 = 3 ---> 300%

The area increases by 300%
