the scale factor increases each part of the object by the same ratio.
\n" ); document.write( "firt by 3 and then by 4 makes the final object equal to 12 times as large as the original.

\n" ); document.write( "the sides of your first figure are multiplied by 3, therefore, the sides are 3 times as large.
\n" ); document.write( "the side of your second figure are multiplied y 4, therefore the sides are 4 times as large.
\n" ); document.write( "let the original side length be be x.
\n" ); document.write( "the side length of the second figure is 3 * x = 3x
\n" ); document.write( "the side length of the the third figure is 4 * 3 * x = 12x.
