Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If she doubles the area of her lot, it should be 2x^2.

But how do you get that?

The answer is that the sides have now increased to √2x

How did I get that, and why did I choose it?

  • The formula for a square's area is s^2
  • If you want to double the area, it will be 2 s^2.  Now what?
  • Take the square root of 2s^2 which is √(2s^2).
  • What that means is the side is now √2 s
