Triangle 1 to Triangle 2 Scaling

Triangle 1

Triangle 2

Math check: a'/a = b'/b = c'/c = k, and every known pair must agree on the same scale factor.
Result
Enter at least one corresponding pair of sides.

Formula

a'/a = b'/b = c'/c = k

How It Works

  1. Enter matching sides in the same order for both triangles.
  2. Provide at least one corresponding pair so the scale factor can be found.
  3. Any missing sides are filled in by multiplying or dividing by k.

Worked Example

If Triangle 1 has sides 3, 4, 5 and Triangle 2 has b' = 12, then the scale factor is 12 / 4 = 3.

The other Triangle 2 sides are 3 x 3 = 9 and 5 x 3 = 15, so the scaled triangle is 9, 12, 15.

Notes

This calculator assumes corresponding sides are entered in matching order. If the side order is not aligned, the scale factor will be wrong.
