You can put this solution on YOUR website! Tony and Edwin each built a rectangular garden.
Tony's garden is twice as long and twice as wide as Edwin's garden.
If the area of Edwin's garden is 600 square feet, what is the area of Tony's garden?
:
Let dimensions of E's garden be L x W
then LW = 600
:
The dimensions of T's garden is 2L x 2W
then 2L*2W = 4LW = area of T's garden
:
Replace LW with 600;
4*600 = 2400 sq ft area of T's garden
