Question

Which is true about the triangles’ perimeters? 2 triangles labeled Triangle A and Triangle B. Triangle A has 3 sides, each labeled 9 kilometers. Triangle B's base is labeled 15 kilometers. Its other 2 sides are each labeled 8 kilometers.

Answer 1

Explanation:

lex x be the common ratio/ scale factor

the sides and 13x

sum of the sides defines perimeter

that is

5x12x13x=15

30x=15

x=15/30

x=0.5

the sides of the triangle are 0.5(5)=2.5

0.5(12(=6

0.5(12)=6.5

2.5,6 6.5 All in inches
