Scale factor 5/3? That is not so simple on the drawing board. You must draw the given triangle, extend one side, and mark off five equal parts where the original side is three. Then construct parallels. But this precision with arcs and rays... it asks for a steady hand and a very sharp pencil. I see my students struggle with this, their lines wobbling, their compasses slipping. In life, things do not scale up so neatly, ase. My daughter's silence feels larger than any triangle I could draw.
