Answer:
The perimeter would also be multiplied by 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter would also be multiplied by 2. Suppose the sides of a triangle are 5, 10 and 13. The perimeter would be the sum of the side lengths or 5 + 10 + 13 = 28 ft.
Multiply each side length so 5*2 = 10, 10*2 = 20 and 13*2 = 26. Find the perimeter by finding their sum, 10 + 20 + 26 = 56.
Divide the new perimeter by the old perimeter to find a scale factor.
56/28 = 2.
The new perimeter is exactly 2 times bigger since 2*28 = 56.
