Answer 4

Let L be the length and W be the width

The area is then A = LW

and the perimeter is P = 2L + 2W

Answer 5

so what do i plug in ?

Answer 6

If you multiply each side by 4, then L becomes 4L and W becomes 4W

Answer 7

So the new area is then

A = LW

A = (4L)*(4W)

...I'll let you continue

Answer 8

is it the third one?

Answer 9

?

Answer 10

@huneya am I right?

Answer 11

ok cool

Answer 12

........uh

Answer 13

A = LW

A = (4L)*(4W)

A = (4*4)*(LW)

A = 16LW

So the new area is 16 times greater

Answer 14

so I'm right
