Solution

$Hi, Since each side is doubled means altitude of the rhombus is also doubled so new altitude will be 2 times of old one and so is true for the base of the rhombus so old area of rhombus = base \times height new area = 2 base \times 2 height = 4 \times base \times height = 4 \times old area of rhombus So area will be 4 times$
