It looks like the scale factor value is missing from the question. The perimeter of the original triangle is 11+9+28 = 48 inches. After dilation by scale factor k, every side (and thus the perimeter) is multiplied by k, so the dilated perimeter = 48k inches.

If you give the actual scale factor I can compute the numerical perimeter (for example, if k = 1/2 the perimeter = 24 in; if k = 2 the perimeter = 96 in).
