How does the value of the following integral change when we scale the shape by a factor $k$?
$begingroup$
Let $U$ be a bounded open subset of an $n$-dimensional euclidean space endowed with the usual topology and the usual metric $d$. Now, let
$$sigma(U)=iint_U d(x,y)dxdy$$
Suppose we scale the space by a factor of $k$ from the origin. Let $k U$ be the new shape.
My question is how does $sigma(k U)$ change with respect to $sigma(U)$. I have doubt with two results. Is $sigma(kU)=kcdotsigma(U)$ or does it depend on its dimension, i.e. $sigma(kU)=k^ncdotsigma(U)$, or it is something else?
I have doubts because every distance in the new shape is scaled by $k$ with respect to the old shape, but the area that gets scaled by a factor of $k^n$. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I think there is no "obvious" relation between $sigma(U)$ and $sigma(kU)$ in general.

Suppose $U$ is our shape of dimension $n$ and each of its points will have coordinates $x=(x_1,ldots,x_n)$. Then the new shape $kU$ will have points with coordinates $x'=(x_1',ldots,x_n')$ with the relations
$$x_i'=kx_i$$
$$dx_i'=kdx_i$$
So $dx'=prod_{i=1}^ndx_i'=prod_{i=1}^nk dx_i=k^ndx$, and because $x_i=x_i'/k$, the shape $kU$ gets transformed to ${xmid exists x'in kU:x=x'/k}=U$, so we have that:
begin{align}
sigma(kU) &= iint_{kU}d(x',y')dx' dy' \
&= iint_U d(kx,ky)k^ndx k^ndy \
&= iint_U kd(x,y)k^{2n}dx dy \
&= k^{2n+1}iint_Ud(x,y)dx dy \
sigma(kU)&= k^{2n+1}sigma(U)
end{align}

Suppose $U$ is our shape of dimension $n$ and each of its points will have coordinates $x=(x_1,ldots,x_n)$. Then the new shape $kU$ will have points with coordinates $x'=(x_1',ldots,x_n')$ with the relations
$$x_i'=kx_i$$
$$dx_i'=kdx_i$$
So $dx'=prod_{i=1}^ndx_i'=prod_{i=1}^nk dx_i=k^ndx$, and because $x_i=x_i'/k$, the shape $kU$ gets transformed to ${xmid exists x'in kU:x=x'/k}=U$, so we have that:
begin{align}
sigma(kU) &= iint_{kU}d(x',y')dx' dy' \
&= iint_U d(kx,ky)k^ndx k^ndy \
&= iint_U kd(x,y)k^{2n}dx dy \
&= k^{2n+1}iint_Ud(x,y)dx dy \
sigma(kU)&= k^{2n+1}sigma(U)
end{align}
