Answer:

Concept:

Doubling the dimensions of a prism will increase the new area by 4 times the original area

Tripling the the dimensions of the prism will increase the new area by 9 times the original area

Quadrupling will increase the new area by 16 times the original area

Given that the original area given is


=225ft^2

The new area therefore will be


\begin{gathered} 16*225 \\ =3600ft^2 \end{gathered}

Hence,

The final answer will be


\rightarrow3600ft^2
