Question

If the length and width of a rectangle each doubled what happens to the area of the rectangle

Answer 1

It would quadruple.

Basically, it will quadruple because you are multiplying, which doesn't make much sense actually.

An example is with a 2 by 2 figure, you would get 4 squared as the area, but if you double both sides, 4 by 4, you would get 16 squared as the area.
