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.

The perimeter changes in direct proportion to the scale factor; the area is proportional to the square of the factor.
