17.4.2 The Ratio of Altitudes, Medians, and Bisectors

Core idea

Enlarge the whole figure by k and every matching segment inside it grows by k too.

Module goal. Once we can test for similarity, we ask what it actually buys us: how corresponding segments, perimeter, and area change with the scale factor, so learners can both compute and apply.
