A:
Answer:The perimeter will be 10 times the original.Step-by-step explanation:Formula for Perimeter of rectangle is 2l + 2 w. From the diagram shown, the perimeter is 2×6 +2×3 = 12+6 =18cmIf if each side is increased by a factor of 10Our length becomes 6×10= 60cmOur width becomes 3×10= 30cmNew perimeter becomes 2×60 + 2×30= 120+60 = 180cmNew perimeter(180 cm)= 10× original perimeter (18cm)So The perimeter will be 10 times the original.
