Question

Triangle A has sides of lengths `48 ,36`, and `21`. Triangle B is similar to triangle A and has a side of length `14`. What are the possible lengths of the other two sides of triangle B?

Answer 1

Side `1=32`
Side `2=24`

Explanation:

Triangle `A` has sides `48,36,21`
Triangle `B` has sides `?,?,14`
`14/21=2/3`
Similarly by ratio of `2/3` we can find the other sides of Triangle `B`
`48times2/3=32` --------------Side `1`
and `36times2/3=24`----------Side `2`
