How to make my imagebuttons bigger in my layout xml file?

Question

I've arranged my image buttons and textView into a linear layout and I was wondering when I ran the application on the emulator and on my phone the image buttons was equally laid out but the were small and too far apart.

Here is a link of what the picture looks like. http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb478/Xxsoralover_1001xX/12980419_1141027192594851_48037648_n.png.jpeg?t=1460182699

This is the inside of my content xml file.
