How is the perimeter and the size change factor related?
If you change the scale factor of a geometric figure by a factor "x", that is, keeping the new figure similar to the old one, the perimeter (which is also a linear measurement) will change by the SAME factor "x".Note that any area will change by a factor of x squared.
What would be the scale factor if you used a copy machine with the size factor of 150 percent?
1.5 to 1
Do the objects size change when its placed at the focal length of the concave mirror?
The objects size is not going to change. The image size, however, would.
Does dilation change the shape?
Geometric dilation (size change, typically expansion) does not change the shape of a figure, or its center location, only the size.
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.
