Chapter 4.3, Problem 25P

* Investigate the following two questions, and explain your conclusions:

a. If you make a rectangular garden that is twice as wide and twice as long as a rectangular garden that you already have, how will the area of the larger garden compare with the area of the original garden? (Will the larger garden be twice as big, 3 times as big, 4 times as big, etc.?)

b. If you make a cardboard box that is twice as wide, twice as tall, and twice as long as a cardboard box that you already have, how will the volume of the larger box compare with the volume of the original box? (Will the larger box be twice as big, 3 times as big, 4 times as big, etc.?)
