Question

the sides of a triangle are 8 inches, 9 inches, and 10 inches. if the shortest side of a similar triangle is 24 inches Find longest side??

Answer 1

Short side of the first triangle (8,9,10) is 8 inches. And another triangle's shortest side is 24. The difference between the two is 3 (24÷8). Now the longest side of the first triangle is 10. Multiply 10 by 3 (the difference between the two triangles) and you'll get 30 which is the length of the longest side of the second triangle.

Answer 2

the answer is 30 inches:)
