Question

an art student wants to take a triangle with side lengths of 9,9, and 15 and enlarge it so that the longest side of a new triangle is 22.5. what will the length of the other two sides of the new triangle be

Answer 1

13.5

Explanation:

The longest side of the smaller triangle is 15 while that of the bigger one is 22.5

The enlargement ratio is 22.5/15 = 1.5

so the lengths of the smaller sides will be;

(1.5*9) = 13.5
