The lengths of the side of a triangle are 14 inches, 10 inches , and 8 inches. If the length of the shortest side of a similar triangle if 4 inches, the length of the longest side of the similar triangle is

The longest length of the similar triangle is 7 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

If two triangles are similar, the ratio of their sides are equal

We shall be working the shortest and longest side of both

What we have here will be that;

The shortest length/ the longest length ratio in both triangles will be the same

Let the longest side of the similar triangle be x

8/14 = 4/x

8x = 4 * 14

x = (4 * 14)/8

x = 7 inches
