Two triangles are similar . The sides of the smaller triangle have lengths of 8,12, and 16 centimeters. The perimeter of the larger triangle is 54 centimeters. Find the length of the shortest side of the triangle.

The shortest side of the larger triangle is 12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its perimeters is equal to the scale factor

step 1

Find the perimeter of the smaller triangle

step 2

Find the scale factor

Divide the perimeter of the larger triangle by the perimeter of the smaller triangle

so

step 3

Find the length of the shortest side of the larger triangle

Multiply the shortest side of the smaller triangle by the scale factor

so

in the math equation 8 x 7 = 56, the 8 and the 7 are both factors of 56, since in this lesson we will use square tiles to figure out the factors of a whole find as many different arrays as you can, but follow one important rule: all the rows must have the i can make two rows of nine, so 2 and 9 are both factors of 18.
