Question

There is a saying that bigger is better, so why not double the dimensions of Mrs. Johnson’s patio to make the side measurement twice as big? Mrs. Johnson and I think that it would better meet her needs. After seeing the original estimation, she thinks that she could afford to double the size. I explained that making the patio twice as big would mean twice the cost. Mrs. Johnson says, “Let’s do it!”
What would be the new dimensions of Mrs. Johnson’s patio?
