Double the Fun

Determine ways to double the dimensions of quadrilaterals.


Suppose we want to double the dimensions of this rectangle. Draw your figure using as many different methods as you can. Explain your methods.

Extension:
Test this conjecture: If the sides of a figure are doubled to produce a similar figure, the area and perimeter will also double. Investigate with 2-dimensional figures and extrapolate your findings to 3-dimensional figures.
