Question

Triangle A has sides of lengths `36`, `45`, and `27`. Triangle B is similar to triangle A and has a side of length `3`. What are the possible lengths of the other two sides of triangle B?

Answer 1

Side `1=4`
Side `2=5`

Explanation:

Triangle `A` has sides `36,45,27`
Triangle `B` has sides `?,?,3`
`3/27=1/9`
Similarly by ratio of `1/9` we can find the other sides of Triangle `B`
`36times1/9=4` --------------Side `1`
and `45times1/9=5`----------Side `2`
