∙ 8y agoA rectangle 10.5 x 3 will have a perimeter of 27 in.
The perimeter, being a linear measure, also changes by a factor of 3.
18" is not a possible perimeter measurement. Assume the dimensions of the rectangle are so close to those of a square that the difference can be disregarded. This is the condition when the perimeter is at its minimum. When the rectangle measures approximately 6" x 6", its area = 36 sq ins, its perimeter = 24" For the area to remain constant then as the length increases by a factor n the width must decrease by that same factor. Area = 6n x 6/n : perimeter = 12n + 12/n :so when n = 1, Perimeter = 12 + 12 = 24 As n increases, say n = 2, Perimeter = 24 + 6 = 30 : And the perimeter continues to increase as the rectangle becomes narrower. Eventually, it will become so narrow that for diagram purposes it will appear as a straight line.
The absolute value of the perimeter doesn't change, only the unit value which increases by a factor of 3.
If the length and width of a rectangle is doubled, it means that both dimensions have increased by a factor of 2. As a result, the area of the rectangle will increase by a factor of 4, because the area is calculated by multiplying the length and width together. Additionally, the perimeter of the rectangle will also increase by a factor of 2, since it is calculated by adding the lengths of all four sides.

The perimeter correspondingly increases by a factor of 4.

Perimeter is proportional to the linear dimensions, so it increases by 3x .Area is proportional to (linear dimensions)2, so it increases by 9x .
The ratio of the perimeters is equal to the scale factor. If rectangle #1 has sides L and W, then the perimeter is 2*L1 + 2*W1 = 2*(L1 + W1).If rectangle # 2 is similar to #1 and sides are scaled by a factor S, so that L2 = S*L1 and W2 = S*W1, the perimeter of rectangle #2 is 2*(L2 + W2)= 2*(S*L1 + S*W1) = S*2*(L1 + W1) = S*(perimeter of rectangle #1).

I think you are thinking of using the rectangles like you use Punnet squares. One side is multiplied times the other side and the product is put in the inside squares. This is handy when trying to factor expressions that are polynomials.
The number of square tiles is always equal to factor pairs. As an example, imagine a rectangle that contains 8 squares - 2 rows of 4. 2 X 4 = 8. In other words, the dimensions of the rectangles are ALWAYS equal to a factor pair of the number of squares in the rectangle. A rectangle containing 24 squares could be made as 24x1, 12x2, 8x3, or 6x4.
