Interpreting the triangle as the 8–15–17 right triangle (legs 8 and 15, hypotenuse 17):

Original triangle
- Perimeter = 8 + 15 + 17 = 40
- Area = (1/2)(8)(15) = 60

Dilated by scale factor k = 55
- New side lengths = 8·55 = 440, 15·55 = 825, 17·55 = 935
- Perimeter = 40·55 = 2200
- Area = 60·55^2 = 60·3025 = 181500

Answers:
- Original perimeter = 40
- Original area = 60
- Dilated perimeter = 2200
- Dilated area = 181,500
