No. It's 9 times greater. The area changes according to the square of

the number that you use to multiply all the linear dimensions.

"3 squared" = 32 = 3 x 3 = 9

If you made the dimensions of the triangle 10 times bigger, the area

would become 102 = 100 times greater.

When a triangle is enlarged by a factor 3 are the angles tripled in size?

No - if the lengths of the sides are all increased by a factor of 3, the angles remain unchanged. You just wind up with a "similar" triangle 3 times the size of the original. A quick counterexample would be to consider what would happen if the angles DID change. The sum of the angles in the original triangle should be 180°. If the angles in the new, larger triangle tripled in size, the sum of the angles in the bigger triangle would be 540° - but the sum of the angles of a triangle should always remain 180°.

How does the total surface area of a box change if 1the demension is doubled 2the demansion is tripled?

The effect on the total surface area of one dimension being doubled or tripled cannot be calculated. You either need to know all three dimensions or all three dimensions must be doubled, not just one dimension (or demension / demansion as you call them).
