Consider this rectangle. The perimeter is P = 2(3) + 2(6) = 18 cm. A rectangle with length 6 centimeters and width 3 centimeters
. Suppose the dimensions of the rectangle are all multiplied by 4. The new rectangle would have the dimensions . The perimeter of the new rectangle would be cm. The new perimeter will be times as large as the perimeter of the original rectangle.
