Answer 1

I think the answer would be B

Answer 2

The area of the garden be  after he doubles the length and width is 160 square feet.

Given that,

• Kurt has a rectangular garden in his backyard with an area of 40 square feet.
• He wants to  increase the size of the garden by doubling each dimension.

Based on the above information, the calculation is as follows:

We know that

Area = (length) (width)

Now if the area is doubled

So,

= (2) (length)  (2) (width)

= 4(length) (width)

= 4 (40)

= 160

Therefore, we can conclude that option b is correct.
