Answer:
The perimeter is multiplied by 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of a rectangle:
The perimeter of a rectangle with sides l and w is given by:
[tex]P = 2(l + w)[/tex]
The side lengths of a rectangle are all multiplied by 5.
This means that [tex]l = 5l, w = 5w[/tex]. So
[tex]P_M = 2(5l + 5w) = 2*5(l+w) = 10(l + w)[/tex]
What happens to its perimeter?
The rate is:
[tex]\frac{P_M}{P} = \frac{10(l+w)}{2(l+w)} = 5[/tex]
The perimeter is multiplied by 5.
