The sides of the 2 triangles are proportional
Suppose you have a 3-4-5 right triangle
The bigger 3-4-5 triangle which is similar has
sides 3k-4k-5k where k is a positive number
greater than 1.
The pythagorean formula for the larger triangle is:

So, the Pythagorean formula gets multiplied by
when the larger triangle's sides are
times larger.
