The length and the width will be increased by 2 feet to double the area for pg enclosure.                      

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Dimension of pig enclosure:

Length = 6 feet

Width = 4 feet

Samantha wants to double the area by increasing equal amount of length and width.

Area of pig enclosure =

Let the length and width be increased by x feet.

Then, we can write

Thus, the length and the width will be increased by 2 feet to double the area for pg enclosure.
