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

Explanation:

Since both the length and the width are scaled by 3.5, the perimeter is also scaled by 3.5

So upscale P=3.5p=3.5xx72ft=252ft

Downscale P=p/3.5=20.6ft
