What happens to the area of a rectangle when you double the length and width?

Hint: In order to determine how the area changes when it is length is halved and breadth is doubled.
First of all we will find the area of the rectangle then we will find the new area of the rectangle when length is halved and breadth is doubled.
We will use the formula that the area of the rectangle is given by \[area = l \times b\].

Complete step-by-step answer:
We need to find the area of a rectangle when length is halved and breadth is doubled
Let \[ABCD\] be a rectangle whose sides are \[AB = l \] cm and \[BC = b\] cm.
Then \[AB = CD\] and \[BC = AD\] .
Area of rectangle ABCD = Length \[ \times \] breadth
\[area = l \times b \; c{m^2}\]
Now, let the length be halved and breadth be doubled
So new \[length = \dfrac{l}{2}\] ,
New \[breadth = 2b\]
Then new area = length x breadth
i.e. \[area = \dfrac{l}{2} \times 2b = l \times b \; c{m^2}\]
Hence we see that the new area is the same as the old area.
Therefore, the area of the rectangle will be the same when the length is halved and breadth is doubled.
So, the correct answer is “SAME”.

Note: Rectangle is a closed figure bounded by the \[4\] line segment whose opposite sides are equal.
For example: let \[ABCD\] be a rectangle, then side \[AB = {\text{ }}CD\] and \[BC = {\text{ }}AD\] .
Area of the rectangle is given by product of length and breadth.
i.e. Area = length x breadth.
Perimeter [i.e. the length of the outer boundary of the rectangle ] is given by formula
Perimeter = \[2\left[ {l + b{\text{ }}} \right]\] , where \[l\] is length and \[b\] is breadth of the rectangle.
If the sides of the rectangle are equal then the rectangle is said to be a square. A square is a closed figure bounded by the \[4\] line segment whose all sides are equal .
Hence all squares are rectangles but all rectangles are not squares.

It would be 4 times greater.

To find this algebraically: let L be the length and W the width originally
A = L x W
When both are doubled, the equation becomes
A = [2L] x [2W] = 4LW
The area of the rectangle is quadrupled if both the length and width are doubled.

if you double the length and the width, you are quadrupling the area. this is because 2 * 2 = 4. 32 is 4 times as large as 8. you doubled the length and the width and you quadrupled the area.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A = L * W
this means area equals length times width.
if you double the length and you double the width, the formula becomes:
A = 2 * L * 2 * W which is the same as:
A = 2 * 2 * L * W which is the same as:
A = 4 * L * W
if you double the length and the width, you are quadrupling the area.
this is because 2 * 2 = 4.
an example:
L = 2 and W = 4
Area = 2 * 4 = 8
double the length and double the width to get:
L = 4 and W = 8
Area = 4 * 8 = 32
32 is 4 times as large as 8.
you doubled the length and the width and you quadrupled the area.
this is because 2 * 2 = 4
if you tripled the length and doubled the width, then the area would be 6 times as large because 2 * 3 = 6
an example:
L = 2 and W = 4
Area = 2 * 4 = 8
double the length and triple the width to get:
L = 4 and W = 12
Area = 4 * 12 = 48
48 is 6 times as big as 8.
what you did was:
L * W = Area
you doubled the length and tripled the width to get:
2 * L * 3 * W = Area
this becomes:
2 * 3 * L * W = Area which becomes:
6 * L * W = Area
the area becomes 6 times as large because 2 * 3 = 6.


The recommended replacement interval for the cam belt was 100,000 kms or four years, whichever occurred first. A self-adjusting, hydraulic tensioner maintained timing belt tension and valve clearance checking/adjustment was only necessary every 150,000 kms.

AVCS: GD.II/GG.II Impreza WRX

For the GD.II/GG.II Impreza WRX, the EJ205 engine had Subaru’s ‘Active Valve Control System’ [AVCS] which adjusted the opening and closing timing of the intake valves by changing the phase angle of the camshaft sprocket relative to the camshaft; for the GD.II/GG.II Impreza WRX, it is understood that the maximum range of adjustment was 35 crankshaft degrees. Under the control of the ECM, an oil flow control valve would move its spool to switch the hydraulic passage to/from the advance and retard chambers in the camshaft sprocket to vary the phase angle between the camshaft sprocket and camshaft.

Based on input signals from the air flow sensor, engine coolant temperature sensor, throttle position sensor and camshaft position sensors, the engine control unit could use three computer maps to achieve the following -

  • Optimum valve timing for stable idling: minimal intake and exhaust valve overlap];
  • Improved fuel consumption at medium engine speeds and low loads: intake valve timing was advanced to reduce intake air blow back and improve fuel consumption. Furthermore, increasing intake and exhaust valve overlap enhanced exhaust gas recirculation [EGR] for a reduction in NOx emissions. When engine load increased, advancing the intake closing time utilised the inertia of the intake air to create a supercharging effect; and,
  • Maximum power at high engine speed and load: intake valve timing was further advanced to maximise overlap and utilise the scavenging effect produced by exhaust gas pulsations to draw intake air into the cylinder. Since the intake valve was closed at the end of the intake stroke, air intake efficiency was improved and power increased.
The intake ports for the EJ205 engine were designed to create a ‘tumble swirl’ air motion as the air and fuel entered the cylinder - this action improved mixing of the air and fuel for more uniform flame travel and faster combustion. According to Subaru, the tumble swirl intake ports enabled maximum gas pressure [downward force] to be applied to the piston 10-15 degrees ATDC when the maximum turning moment on the crankshaft occurred, resulting in a greater power output.

For the GD/GG Impreza WRX [October 2000] and the SF.II Forester GT [December 2000], Tumble Generator Valves [TGV] was introduced for lower exhaust gas emissions at low speed cold engine conditions. Specifically, the TGV worked by closing a butterfly valve in the intake manifold to create a tumble air motion at low intake air speeds, thereby improving air/fuel mixing for improved combustion efficiency and emissions.

What will happen to the area of a rectangle if its side is doubled?

Area remains the same.

What happens to the area of a rectangle when the length is doubled and the width is tripled?

Ans — Area of Rectangle is 6 times more.

What happens to area when dimensions are doubled?

Doubling both dimensions is the same as taking four times one half the base times the height, ½[2b][2h] = 4[½bh]. This is four times the original area.

What will happen to the area of a rectangle if its length is doubled and breadth is half?

[iii] Length is doubled and breadth is halved. Hence, the area of the rectangle becomes 9 times more than its original area. Hence, the area of the rectangle becomes 2 times more than the original area.
