Examine the shape at right.  

1. Find the area and perimeter of the shape.

   Hint (a):

   Use the graph to find the lengths. Remember to draw in right triangles and use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length.

   Answer (a):

   $\text{Perimeter}\approx25.7 \; \text{units}$ 

2. On graph paper, enlarge the figure so that the linear scale factor is $3$. Find the area and perimeter of the new shape.

   Hint (b):

   Multiply each of the dimensions of this figure by $3$ to draw the new, larger figure.

   Answer (b):

   $\text{Perimeter}\approx77 \; \text{units}$ 

3. What is the ratio of the perimeters of both shapes? What is the ratio of the areas?

   Hint (c):

   Remember that the ratio of the perimeters is not the same as the ratio of the areas.
