The the area of the new garden will be 4 times the previous area
How will the area of the new garden compare to the area of the original garden?
From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:
Length = 23 ft
Width = 10 ft
So, we have the area to be
Area = 23 * 10
Area = 230
When doubled, we have
Length = 23 * 2 ft
Width = 10 * 2ft
So, we have the new area to be
Area = 23 * 10 * 2 * 2
Area = 902
This means that the new area will be 4 times the previous area
