Effect of Doubling Length on Area of Rectangle

Very Easy Algebra Expressions, Equations, And Inequalities

Consider the expression for a rectangle's area given by the formula:

$$ A = l imes w $$

where $$ l $$ is the length and $$ w $$ is the width. If the length of the rectangle is doubled while the width remains unchanged, what will happen to the area of the rectangle? Determine whether the area after the change is:

Quantity A is greater than Quantity B.

Quantity A is less than Quantity B.

Quantity A is equal to Quantity B.

The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
