Answer:

  perimeter is doubled to 30.8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is the sum of side lengths. The perimeter of this figure is the sum ...

  4 cm + 5 cm + 6.4 cm = 15.4 cm

__

When the side lengths are doubled, the perimeter is doubled:

  2(4 cm) +2(5 cm) +2(6.4 cm) = 2(4 cm +5 cm +6.4 cm) = 2(15.4 cm)

  = 30.8 cm

The perimeter is doubled.

Additional comment

Any scale factor that applies to all of the side lengths also applies to the perimeter.
