How to expand partition size on Raspberry Pi Ubuntu disk

Task: expand root partition.

After writing image on sd card I see 3.8GB partition size. I have 14GB sd card.

To use all space use next linux commands:

$ sudo fdisk /dev/mmcblk0       

Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.31.1).                                                                              
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.                                                
Be careful before using the write command.
