Imagine an n-sided polygon with a side length of x, then perimeter = nx.

If sides are reduced to x/2 the perimeter becomes nx/2, ie it is halved.

How does doubling the side lenghts of aright triangle affect its perimeter?

Doubling the side lengths of a right triangle results in a new triangle with each side being twice as long. Since the perimeter is the sum of all the side lengths, doubling each side effectively doubles the perimeter as well. Therefore, if the original perimeter is ( P ), the new perimeter will be ( 2P ).
