If the dimensions of a parallelogram are increased by a factor of two, how will the perimeter of the object be affected?
increase by a factor of four
decrease by a factor of one-fourth
increase by a factor of two
decrease by a factor of one-half

increase by a factor of two

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that dimension of a parallelogram are increased by a factor of 2.

Let the sides of the parallelogram be l and w.

Then perimeter = 2(l+w)

When each side is increased by a scale factor of 2, we get new dimensions as

2l and 2w

Hence new perimeter = 2(2l+2w) = 4(l+w)

= twice as old perimeter

Hence increase by a factor of two

false

step-by-step explanation:

false.   two legs of the trapezoid would be congruent, but the other two would not.   were all the legs congruent, then we'd have a square; were the 2 shorter sides congruent and the 2 longer sides also congruent, we'd have a rectangle.
