Question

the lenghths of the sides of a triangle are 4 in., 14 in., and 16 in. if the longest side of a similar triangle measure 40 in what is lengh of shortest side of this new triangle?

Answer 1

I think the answer is 10 because the scale of the triangle is 2.5(if you divide 40/16), so then you would multiply 2.5* the smallest number to get 10. Sorry if I am wrong :)
