When you double the length of the sides of a polygon the area is 4 times as large why why not 2 times as large?

The area will be four times larger because both the length and the width of the original shape were doubled in size. Thus, each dimension was multiplied by a factor of two, resulting in an overall increase of four.

How can you calculate the perimeter of a regular polygon?
Add the length of all sides. A regular polygon is a polygon where all sides and angles are congruent, so a shortcut is to know the length of one side and multiply it by the number of sides.
