Triangle A has a side XY=4,YZ=5,ZX=6

if we triple the length of side XY, What happens to the area of triangle A ?

multiplied by 0 multiplied by 1/3 multiplied by 1 multiplied by 3

if we triple the length of side XY

XY =12 , ZX=6 ,YZ=5

then XY>YZ+ZX

and this is not a Triangle so the total area =0

good solution @Aya Alaa

The area does not exist, since the triangle does not exist. So it is NOT actually a zero.

I didn't see that coming.
