Explanation:

The perimeter of the rectangle is


P = 2(4x + 2x) = 12x

The perimeter of the octagon is


P = 8(1.5x) = 12x

So for x = 1, the perimeter of the rectangle, as well as the octagon, is 12 cm. For x = 2, its 24 cm. For x = 3, it's 36 and so on. So the pattern here is with each integer increase in x, the perimeter increases by 12 cm. Also that the perimeters of both shapes are equal.
