Hi,

I think this question muight be better in the math section but no big problem. If the perimeter is twice as big then I figure each side must be twice as long. You should be able to figure out the area because it is proportional to the square of the length of the side. If you put in what you think the answer should be then I'll let you know if it's right or not - the site is to help you understand rather than simply provide homework answers.
