Let's say square 1 has sides of x   perimeter of  4x        Area =     x * x = x^2

   Square 2 has sides of 3x             perimeter of 12 x     Area = 3x *3x = 9x^2      NINE times bigger for having 3x perimeter

Well you might need an example, let's say that the first square's area is 1, so the perimeter is 4. So the other square's perimeter is 12, so it's area is 9, so the square's area is nine times larger the the other square's area.
