To build a triangle similar to a given triangle using the given scale factor.

This structure involves two distinct situations.

In one, the triangle to be built is smaller than the given triangle, while in the other, it is larger.

The scale factor denotes the ratio of the sides of the triangle to be constructed to the sides of the given triangle.

Given ratio is 73>1 so, the resulting triangle will be larger than given as B7CB3C and BX is equally divided into 7 part as $(7>3)$.

Steps of Construction:

Draw the given triangle with the given specifications.

Draw an acute angle CBX.

Divide BX into 7 equal parts and mark them B1,B2,B3,,B7.

Produce BC and BA as shown in the figure.

Join B3C.

Draw B7C'B3C. to intersect on BC produced.

Draw C'AAC·A' on BA produced A'BC' is required triangle.

Hence, the given statement is true.
