When the dimensions of a triangle are tripled is the area of the new triangle 6 times greater than the original triangle?

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.

How does a volume of a rectangular prism change if the length is tripled?
If only the length is changed and all other dimensions left unchanged, the volume will also triple.

How does the circumference of a circle change when its diameter is tripled?
C1 = pi x D, C2 = pi x 3 x D, so the circumference is also tripled.
What happens to the area of a circle if the radius is tripled?
The circle becomes an oval
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°.
What happens if a circle's radius is tripled?
If the radius is tripled then the Area will be greater by a factor of 9. And the circumference will be greater by a factor of 3.

How is the volume of a cube affected if the dimensions of the cube are tripled?
Volume is proportional to the cube (3rd power) of the linear dimensions.If the side of the cube is tripled, the volume increasesby a factor of (3)3 = 27 .
What will be the area of an equilateral triangle if all it's sides are tripled?
It will be 9 times as large. And that will be true for any plane shape, not just an equilateral triangle.
