it means a transformation in which a polygon is enlarged or reduced by a given factor around a given center point.so its an enlargmant or a reduction
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.
Measure the lengths of corresponding sides. Then divide the length from the altered polygon by that from the original.
Scale factor and perimeter are related because if the scale factor is 2, then the perimeter will be doubled. So whatever the scale factor is, that is how many times the perimeter will be enlarged.
The perimeter will scale by the same factor.

divide the perimeter by 27 the multiply it by 3 and then u get the answer
Perimeter is proportional to the linear dimensions, so it increases by 3x .Area is proportional to (linear dimensions)2, so it increases by 9x .
Scale factor and perimeter are related because if the scale factor is 2, then the perimeter will be doubled. So whatever the scale factor is, that is how many times the perimeter will be enlarged.
Theorem: If two similar triangles have a scalar factor a : b, then the ratio of their perimeters is a : bBy the theorem, the ratio of the perimeters of the similar triangles is 2 : 3.For rectangles, perimeter is 2*(L1 + W1). If the second rectangle's sides are scaled by a factor S, then its perimeter is 2*(S*L1 + S*W1) = S*2*(L1 + W1), or the perimeter of the first, multiplied by the same factor S.In general, if an N-sided polygon has sides {x1, x2, x3....,xN}, then its perimeter is x1 + x2 + x3 + ... + xN. If the second similar polygon (with each side (labeled y, with corresponding subscripts) scaled by S, so that y1 = S*x1, etc. The perimeter is y1 + y2 + ... + yN = S*x1 + S*x2 + ... + S*xN = S*(x1 + x2 + ... + xN ),which is the factor S, times the perimeter of the first polygon.
Ok if the triangle is equilateral then all the sides have to have the same length. Since the perimeter is 45 inches that means each side is 15 inches. 45 / 3 = 15 Now if he dilates the triangle by a scale factor of 0.6 we have to multiply the length of each side by 0.6. 15 * 0.6 = 9 So the answer is 9 inches
The perimeter will scale by the same factor.
For a, it tells you how many times the side lengths grew or shrunk.For b, it tells you that the perimeter grows or shrinks: scale factor times original perimeter.For c, it tells you that the area grows or shrinks: scale factor squared times the original area.
Perimeter will scale by the same factor. Area of the new figure, however is the original figures area multiplied by the scale factor squared. .
New perimeter = old perimeter*scale factor New area = Old area*scale factor2
