The video tutorial explains how the perimeter of shapes changes with a scale factor. It uses a rectangle to demonstrate that multiplying the original perimeter by the scale factor gives the new perimeter. This concept is extended to circles, showing that the circumference also changes proportionally with the scale factor. The tutorial verifies these calculations using both formulas and visual drawings.
