The lengths of the sides of a triangle are 14 inches, 10 inches, and 8 inches. If the length of
the shortest side of a similar triangle is 4 inches, the length of the longest side of the
similar triangle is-
A. 7 inches
B. 32 inches
C. 56 inches
D. 28 inches

Answer 1

A. 7 inches

Explanation:

First, identify the shortest length of the first triangle and put it into a fraction with the shortest side of the similar triangle, so 8/4. To go from 8 to four is by 1/2, so the next step is to take 1/2 of the longest side (14) which is 7.

8/4 and 14/7
