Answer:
No, doubling the base and height would actually quadruple the area,
Step-by-step explanation:
With the original measurements of b = 3 ft and h = 5 ft,
<em>b x h = A</em>
<em>(3) x (5) = </em><em>15 ft</em>
So lets say we <em>doubled</em> the factors:
<em>(2)(3) x (2)(5) = A</em>
We would end up with 60 feet, four times that of 15.
<em>(6) x (10) = </em><em>60 ft</em>
