The absolute value of the perimeter doesn't change, only the unit value which increases by a factor of 3.

Does a figure change its dimensions when translated?
No but if it is enlarged its dimensions are changed
How do you figure the perimeter of a triangle?
Sum of dimensions of all sides
How does proportional change in the dimensions affect the perimeter of a figure?
If you are asking how the perimeter of an object changes if the whole object is proportionally changed: The perimeter changes by the same factor as the change in proportion of the whole object. For example: given a square that is 2 units by 2 units, changed by a factor of four, the new size would be 8 units by 8 units. The original perimeter was 2+2+2+2=8. The new perimeter is 8+8+8+8=32. So, multiplying the original perimeter, 8, by the factor of proportional change, 4, we get 8x4=32. For any object, multiply the original perimeter by the factor of proportional change to arrive at the new perimeter.
When both dimensions of a figure are changed using the same scale factor is the change proportional or non proportional?
If it is a 2-dimensional figure then it is proportional.
How do you figure out the area if you know the perimeter?
You can't. The perimeter doesn't tell the area. There are an infinite number of shapes with different dimensions and different areas that all have the same 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.)

What is used to measure a perimeter?
to measure the perimeter we need a figure with boundaries and all the sides with dimensions

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
How do you figure out the area if you know the perimeter?
You can't. The perimeter doesn't tell the area. There are an infinite number of shapes with different dimensions and different areas that all have the same perimeter.
A rectangle has a perimeter of 44 the dimensions of the rectangle are scaled by a factor of 1.5 so what will be the perimeter of the resulting figure?
44 x 1.5 = 66.
What happens to the perimeter of a rectangle when its length and width are quadrupled?
When the linear dimensions of a plane figure are quadrupled, its perimeter is quadrupled, and its area is multiplied by 42 = 16 .
Does a figure change dimensions when translated?
No only a change of place is made
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
