To answer this question, we take note that the word "dilation" means that the dimension of the new figure is larger than the original figure. From the given above, the perimeter of the new hexagon is 52 times the perimeter of the original figure. That will give us an answer of,

new perimeter = (24 meters) (52) = 1,248 meters
