Diameter triples.
Area becomes 9 times as great.
Resistance is reduced to 1/9 as much.

Length doubles.
Resistance is increased to 2 times as much.

Both changes.
Resistance changes by 2 • 1/9 .
Resistance becomes 2/9 as much.
That's 22.2% of the original resistance.
Resistance decreased by 77.7% .
