Find the angle measures of the original triangle and the dilated triangle, then compare proportionality of the ratio to the scale factor.

Center the original triangle inside the dilated triangle and see if the side lengths are congruent by using the scale factor.

Reflect the triangle across the x-axis and check for symmetry among the triangles with respect to the x-axis.

Translate the dilated triangle so one of its angles exactly matches the corresponding angle in the original triangle; repeat using a different pair of angles.

Translate the dilated triangle so one corresponding angle matches, then translate/rotate so a second corresponding angle matches — with two equal angles the triangles are similar by AA.
