Question

The length of the sides of one triangle are 2/3 the length of the side of a similar triangle. If a side of the lower triangle is 36 millimeters, what is the measure of the matching side of the smaller triangle?

Answer 1

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

36= three part in a length

so, one part=36/3=12

smaller triangle's length=2/3=12×2=24

Answer 2

Answer:

24 millimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 2 triangles with proportional sides. The smaller side has a length of 2/3 of the similar triangle:

$L_1=\frac{2L_2}{3}$

$L_1=\frac{2*36}{3}$

$L_1=24 mm$

24 millimeters
