The scale factor can change how big or small a figure is, though it will still be similar. For example, a triangle with two sides measuring 3 & 3 (isosceles) are scaled in a factor of 6 (becoming larger).
3 x 6 = 18
The new triangle will have the sides measuring 18. Even though the triangles are not congruent, they are similar.
