Creating a scaled copy involves multiplying the lengths in the original figure by a scale factor.
For example, to make a scaled copy of triangle ABC where the base is 8 units, we would
use a scale factor of 4. This means multiplying all the side lengths by 4, so in triangle DEF,
each side is 4 times as long as the corresponding side in triangle ABC.
