To  construct  a  triangle  similar  to  a  given  ∆ABC  with  its  sides 7/3  of  the  corresponding sides of ∆ABC, draw a ray BX making acute angle with BC and X lies on the opposite side of A with respect to BC. The points B1, B2, …., B7 are located at equal distances on BX, B3 is joined to C and then a line segment B6C’ is drawn parallel to B3C where C’ lies on BC produced. Finally, line segment A’C’ is drawn parallel to AC.
