Sides of larger shape are 2 times longer Scale factor is x2 Area increases by a factor of 22 (or 4) Yes!
Not Similar so side lengths and perimeter are not proportionate Angle are not equal No !
WAIT! Yes !
Sides of larger shape are 4 times longer Scale factor is x4 Area increases by a factor of 42 (or 16) Yes!
