To determine the new side lengths when the original figure's side lengths are multiplied by a scale factor of 3, you simply take each side length of the original figure and multiply it by 3.
For example, if one of the sides of the original figure is 2 units in length, the new side length would be 2 units × 3 = 6 units.
You should repeat this multiplication for each side of the figure to get the corresponding new side lengths.
