First of all is to know what the shape is. Every geometrical shape/figure have their unique dimensions that maches the given area.
Next thing to know is that if it is a circle or a regular polygon then the dimensions can be computed given only the area.
example:
circle: Area = pi R^2 therefore R = sqrt(Area/pi)
square: Area = (side)^2 therefore Side = sqrt(area)
If it is not a circle or a regular polygon then knowing just the area is insufficient to find the dimensions. You will need to know more details.
example:
for a rectangle: you need to know at least a side or the length of the diagonal maybe.

What is area the polygon?
Impossible to figure out. You did not mention any dimensions of the figure. You mush have the dimensions.
What is the area of a regular polygon?
Impossible to figure out. You did not mention any dimensions of the figure. You mush have the dimensions.
How does proportional change in the dimensions affect the area of a figure?
If the new linear dimensions are k times the old dimensions, then the new area is k2 times the old area.

What scale factor doubles the size of a figure?
Depends what you mean by the "size" of the figure.To double the linear dimensions of the figure ===> Multiply the linear dimensions by 2.To double the area of the figure ===> Multiply the linear dimensions by sqrt(2). (1.4142)
How do the area and perimeter of the area of a figure change when it's dimensions change?
The answer depends entirely on how the dimensions change. It is possible to change the dimensions without changing the perimeter. It is also possible to change the dimensions without changing the area. (And it is possible to change the area without changing the perimeter.)
What two dimensions are multiplied when finding the area of a rectangle?
the two dimensions that are multiplied are the top long layer and one of the sides to figure out your area of your rectangle and square
When you triple the dimensions of a figure how does this affect the area of the figure?
If you triple the length and width (or base and height) of a figure, you will be multiplying the factor of three by itself, so the area increases by 3 squared, or 9. So a figure with an area of 12 will have an area of 108 when you triple its dimensions. This holds true for circles as well, since radius squared is used for area, the 3 squared factor still applies.

What meaning of area?
Area is like the perimeter, only you multiply the dimensions, the definition of Area is the inside of a 2-d Figure
How do you find depth of a rectangle given the widthlength and area?
Rectangles don't have depth. If your figure has three dimensions, divide the area by the product of the two dimensions you know. The quotient will be the third dimension.
How does changing the dimensions of a figure affect perimeter area and volume?
When linear dimensions are multiplied by 'K', - perimeter is also multiplied by 'K' - area is multiplied by K2 - volume is multiplied by K3
When you double the dimensions of a figure how does this affect the area of the figure?
If you were to double both the width and the length, then the area would quadruple. It will be multiplied by a factor of four.I learned this in my 7th grade math class. (:
