Kim’s herb garden is 2 feet by 4 feet. He wants to double the length and the width of the garden. How will the area of the herb garden change?

It will be 32 feet. You must double eat number. Two doubled is 4. Four doubled is 8. Then you multiple 4x8.

If both the length and width are doubled, then the entire thing is quadrupled, so it will go from 8 feet squared to 32 feet squared.
