lots of ways actually
a nice way is to think about the surface area as the sum of all the faces right
then how do we increase each faces area by 2-fold? hint:||it is not doubling all the side lengths||

i got it just double one side length like width or height and then to do the math

thank btw

[dire lintel]

doubling the width or the height wont double the surface area

not of a rectangular prism, at least
