Question

Paulo is designing two gardens shaped like similar triangles. one garden has a perimeter of 53.5 feet, and the longest side is 25 feet. he wants the second garden to have a perimeter of 32.1 feet. find the length of the longest side of this garden.

Answer 1

x/32.1 = 25/53.5
x = 25/53.5 × 32.1
x = 5/10.7 × 32.1
x = 15

The longest side of second garden is 15 feet
