Best Answer

If, by changing the size of the squares you mean increasing the length of the side by some multiple, then the perimeter increases in direct proportion to the length of the side while the area increases in direct proportion to the square of the side.

If, by changing the size of the the squares you mean increasing the length of the side from x units by some fixed small amount, dx units, then the perimeter will increase by 4*dx while the area will increase by 2*x*dx

How do you figure out the perimeter of a figure with 100 squares?

It depends on the configuration of the 100 squares. Different configurations - 1*100 or 2*50 etc will give different perimeters.


When finding the perimeter of a figure on a grid why do you not count the spaces inside the grid?

That's because "perimeter" means the distance around something - not the spaces inside. If you count squares inside a figure, you are finding the AREA, not the PERIMETER.


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.)
