If the side-lengths of a triangle are increased by a scale factor of 4 then the area will be 16 times greater.
As given in the question,
Let 'a' be the base of the triangle
and 'h' be the height of the triangle
Area of the triangle = (1/2)×a× h
Side length increased by scale factor 4
New base = 4a
New height=4h
New area=(1/2)×4a×4h
= 16×(1/2)×a ×h
= 16 times the original area
Therefore, if the side-lengths of a triangle are increased by a scale factor of 4 then the area will be 16 times greater.
