The figures are similar; the scale factor between one pair of corresponding sides is the same as the scale factor between all the other pairs of corresponding sides. (In fact it is the scale factor between ANY corresponding linear measurements between the two figures.)

The perimeter of ABCD is 65*(8/5) = 104.
