Question

50. Two similar triangles' perimeters are in a ratio of 2:5. If the lengths of the larger triangle's sides are 14, 18, and 24, what is the perimeter of the smaller triangle

Answer 1

22.4

Explanation:

First, let's find the perimeter of the larger triangle:

14 + 18 + 24 = 56

Then, use the ratio to find the smaller triangle's perimeter:

x/56 = 2/5 ---> 56(2) = 5x ---> x = 112/5 ---> x = 22.4

Hope this helped!
