The sides of the 2 triangles are proportional
\n" ); document.write( "Suppose you have a 3-4-5 right triangle
\n" ); document.write( "The bigger 3-4-5 triangle which is similar has
\n" ); document.write( "sides 3k-4k-5k where k is a positive number
\n" ); document.write( "greater than 1.
\n" ); document.write( "The pythagorean formula for the larger triangle is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%283k%29%5E2+%2B+%284k%29%5E2+=+%285k%29%5E2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+k%5E2%2A%283%5E2%29+%2B+k%5E2%2A%284%5E2%29+=+k%5E2%2A%285%5E2%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+k%5E2%2A%28+3%5E2+%2B+4%5E2+%29+=+k%5E2%2A%285%5E2%29++\"
\n" ); document.write( "So, the Pythagorean formula gets multiplied by
\n" ); document.write( "\"k%5E2\" when the larger triangle's sides are
\n" ); document.write( "\"k\" times larger.
