Let the first ▲ be ▲ABC & the second ▲DEF
Let the first ▲ be ▲ABC & the second ▲DEFlet ABC's sides be a,b,c and DEF's 3a,3b,f
Let the first ▲ be ▲ABC & the second ▲DEFlet ABC's sides be a,b,c and DEF's 3a,3b,fSince 3(a+b+c)=3a+3b+f
Let the first ▲ be ▲ABC & the second ▲DEFlet ABC's sides be a,b,c and DEF's 3a,3b,fSince 3(a+b+c)=3a+3b+f=>3a+3b+3c=3a+3b+f
Let the first ▲ be ▲ABC & the second ▲DEFlet ABC's sides be a,b,c and DEF's 3a,3b,fSince 3(a+b+c)=3a+3b+f=>3a+3b+3c=3a+3b+f=>3c=f
Let the first ▲ be ▲ABC & the second ▲DEFlet ABC's sides be a,b,c and DEF's 3a,3b,fSince 3(a+b+c)=3a+3b+f=>3a+3b+3c=3a+3b+f=>3c=f=> the corresponding sides increase by a factor of 3 in ▲DEF from ▲ABC
