The two ways she could change the length and/or width are;

  • Multiply the length by a factor of 4 while leaving the width constant
  • Multiply the width by a factor of 4 while leaving the length constant

The new area of the pen would be; 90ft²

Area of a pen

The dimension of the pen given is;

  • 5 feet long by 4 1/2 feet wide

Hence, the initial area of the pen is;

  • 5 × 4.5 = 22.5 ft².

Hence, to make the pen four times it's present area; Krista may multiply either of the length or width by a factor of 4.

And hence, the new area is; 22.5 × 4 = 90ft²
