Question 1008556: A certain rectangle is 5 times as long as it is wide. Suppose thae length and widths are both doubled. How many times as great would thearea of the second rectangle be ? Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Since area A = LW, if you double each you get
A = (2L)(2W) = 4LW, you can see you will get an area FOUR times as great.
