Doubling the lengths of the sides of a rectangle quadruple the area
How to determine the effect?
Let the dimension of the rectangle be L and W.
So, the area is
A = LW
When the lengths are doubled, we have:
A2 = 2L * 2W
This gives
A2 = 4LW
This means that the initial area is multiplied by 4
Hence, doubling the lengths of the sides of a rectangle quadruple the area
