If you triple the length and width (or base and height) of a figure, you will be multiplying the factor of three by itself, so the area increases by 3 squared, or 9. So a figure with an area of 12 will have an area of 108 when you triple its dimensions. This holds true for circles as well, since radius squared is used for area, the 3 squared factor still applies.
