Calculate the area of the rectangle when a = 4 and b = 2. Next, calculate the area when the length and width are doubled.

Does the area double? What is the ratio of the two areas you calculated?
A) NO; 1:4
B) YES; 1:4
C) NO; 1:2
D) YES; 1:2

Answer 1

what did you get for the area of the rectangle ?
(I assume a and b are the width and length)

Answer 2

why thank u again phi LOL

Answer 3

8??

Answer 4

ok
now what do you get for a and b when you double each one ?
then find the new area ?

Answer 5

16

Answer 6

or is it 32?

Answer 7

That is why I asked the question in two parts.
they say
Next, calculate the area when the length and width are doubled.

first, what do you get for a and b after you double each one ?

Answer 8

8 and 4

Answer 9

now find the area length*width
you get 8*4 = 32

Answer 10

so the original area is 8
and the new area is 32

did the area double (i.e. go from 8 to 16 ?) I assume the answer is obvious ?

Answer 11

yes
