^is that all to the question? Because, in that case it's just the area, multiplied by 2.

However, I believe there ought to be more to it.

Is he doubling the size of the garden making it 6 by 18 feet?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. What Zach wants is the area doubled. So the current area is 27 sq ft. Doubed that is 54 sq ft. He can increase the length and breadth by a multiple of sqrt2.
