If the rectangle is up-scaled (enlarged) perimeter will be 252 ft252ft
If the rectangle is down-scaled (smaller) perimeter will be 20.6 ft20.6ft

Explanation:

Since both the length andand the width are scaled by 3.53.5, the perimeter is also scaled by 3.53.5

So upscale P=3.5p=3.5xx72ft=252ftP=3.5p=3.5×72ft=252ft

Downscale P=p/3.5=20.6ft P=p3.5=20.6ft
