Hello!

Let's find the area and see!

A = s^2

A = 3^2

A = 6 ft^2

Now, if you double 3, you get 6. 3 × 2 = 6 Find the area:

A = 6^6

A = 36 ft^2

ANSWER:

No, the area will not be doubled. The area was 9 ft^2 when the sides were 3 feet long. If you double 9, you get 18, since 9 × 2 = 18.

36 is not the double of 9, so no, the area is not double.
