How many square feet are in 1 foot
> 0. Feet measure distance, square feet measure area
Width = W
Length = L
Area = LW = A
1.5W * 1.5L = 2.25LW = 2.25A
The area increases by 1.25 times its original area.

It's a little hard to tell with all the typo's and spelling errors, but I think I can help.
The original area is length * width. If each is increased by .5 it's original size, the new area can be shown as
1.5*length * 1.5*height. The 1.5 *1.5 gives 2.25, the factor by which the area will increase.

The new area will be %225 of the old area.
