in meters the sides of a triangle measure 7, 9 and 11. find the perimeter of a similar triangle in which the longest side has a length of 44 meters

Question

anonymous · Answer

you could set up a propertion for example :

11/9 = 44/x

then solve for x, which would be 36

11/7 = 44/x

x = 28

then just add up all the sides 44+36+28 

so the perimeter is 108
