Question

the ratio of the corresponding sides of two similar triangles is 2:5 the sides of the smaller triangle is 6mm 8mm and 12mm what is the perimeter of the larger triangle?

Answer 1

Answer:

65

Step-by-step explanation:

using the ratio we can find the side lengths of the other triangle.

since it is 2:5

6:x=2:5

so x = 15(first side)

8:x=2:5

so x = 20(second side)

12:x=2:5

x=30(third side)

so then we add them up

15+20+30

65
