Question

An original rectangle has a length of 14 and a width of 12. What happens to the area if the new width is double the original width? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

compare \(14\times 12\) with \(14\times 2\times 12\)

Answer 2

14*12=168
14*24=336

So, if the width is doubled, then the whole area is doubled.

Answer 3

Thank you!
