The perimeter of a triangle (or any other shape) is the sum of the lengths of all of its sides. So if the side lengths in a right triangle are doubled, its perimeter will also be doubled.

For example: Triangle with lengths 3,4,5 will be 12

Now with the lengths doubled: 6,8,10...The perimeter will be: 24!
