Sam's current patio has a length of 30 ft and a width of 20 ft, as \(30 \times 20 = 600\). With a new width that is 3 times the current width, that makes it \(20 \times 3 = 60\) ft. Thus, Sam's new patio will have a length of 30 ft and a width of 60 ft, which leads to a new area of \(30 \times 60 = 1800\) square feet, making it \(3\) times the area of the current patio. Lisa can take a leaf out of Sam's book! If she decides to make her new length \(7\) times her current length and doubles the width of her existing patio, she can simply apply the same area expansion principles. If her current area is \(A\), her new area formula would be \(7L \times 2W = 14LW\), leading to a \(14\) times increase in area! That's what I call growing your patio and your potential!
