Answer:

1/4 the new area

Explanation:

Kimberly wants to enlarge hut 5‘ x 10‘ rectangular patio by multiplying its dimensions by two how old the area of the patio be affected

Given that:

Initial dimension of patio = 5' by 10'

Initial area of patio = Area of rectangle = Length * width

Area of patio = 5 * 10 = 50 in²

If dimension is multiplied by 2

New dimension :

5* 2 by 10*2 = 10' by 20'

New area of patio :

10 * 20 = 200 in²

50 /200 = 1/4

The old area will be 1/4 the size of the new area of the patio
