The way you use a scale factor to enlarge a triangle is to multiply each side of the triangle by that scale factor. Your triangle will then be that many times larger.

How do you enlarge a figure on a coordinate graph?

To enlarge a figure on a coordinate graph, you can apply a dilation transformation using a scale factor. Choose a center point for the dilation, often the origin or the center of the figure, and multiply the coordinates of each vertex by the scale factor. For example, if you use a scale factor of 2, each coordinate (x, y) becomes (2x, 2y), effectively doubling the size of the figure while maintaining its shape and proportions.


How do you enlarge a rectangle by 2.5 with scale factor?

If you assume that 2.5 refers to the scale factor, you multiply each linear measurement by 2.5. This includes the width, the length, and - if you want to use it to construct your new rectangle - the diagonals. It also happens to include the perimeter, but you probably won't need that to construct the rectangle.
