Proportional scaling

[Simon Lord]

This would only work for an object who's height and width are the same. 
  Objects like a rectangle on it's side will get wider at a faster rate 
than they will get taller.  That's where the math kinda runs away from 
me (and when fond memories of me doodling in 6th grade math come to 
mind).
