\"by how much does the area of a rectangle increase if its dimensions are doubled\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Area of a rectangle = length x width\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "For example:
\n" ); document.write( "length = 7
\n" ); document.write( "width = 3
\n" ); document.write( "Area = 3 x 7 = 21\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Double dimensions:
\n" ); document.write( "length = 14
\n" ); document.write( "width = 6
\n" ); document.write( "Area = 14 x 6 = 84\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "---------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Another example:
\n" ); document.write( "length = 5
\n" ); document.write( "width = 2
\n" ); document.write( "Area = 5 x 2 = 10\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Double dimensions:
\n" ); document.write( "length = 10
\n" ); document.write( "widht = 4
\n" ); document.write( "Area = 10 x 4 = 40\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Looks like the area is quadrupled {4 times}
