This document discusses the effects of changing dimensions on the perimeter and area of geometric figures. It provides examples of how multiplying or doubling individual dimensions, such as the height of a rectangle or radius of a circle, affects the perimeter and area. It also examines how proportionally changing multiple dimensions, such as doubling both the base and height of a rectangle, impacts perimeter and area. The key points are that individually changing a dimension proportionally changes the perimeter or area, while proportionally changing multiple dimensions results in a similar figure. The document aims to build understanding of these relationships through worked examples and practice problems.
