Dear Student

The given statement isFalse
We know that,
Area of square = side × side

As per the condition given in the question, side of the square is doubled = 2 × side Then, new area = 2side × 2side

= 4 side^2
Therefore, side of the square is doubled then the area of the square obtained is 4 times the old area.


Thanks
