Small triangle: The side // x axis has a length of 4
Large triangle: The side // x axis has a length of 12

So Small/Large = 4/12 = 1/3

Small triangle: The side // y axis has a length of 3
Large triangle: The side // y axis has a length of 9

So Small/Large = 3/9 = 1/3

So the scale factor to obtain this dilatation is 1/3
