Question

Which set of side lengths could form a triangle similar to a triangle with side lengths 11, 16, and 22?

22, 27, 33

22, 32, 42

33, 44, 66

33, 48, 66

Answer 1

Let's assume choice A is the answer (it may or may not be)

Answer 2

If choice A was the answer, then dividing the corresponding side lengths should give us the same number

Answer 3

So

22/11 = 2

but

27/16 = 1.6875

so choice A is NOT a similar triangle with the given triangle

Answer 4

is it D?

Answer 5

it is D, nice job

Answer 6

I was going to say

Hint: Multiply the given triangle by 3

Answer 7

thanks

Answer 8

:)

Answer 9

notice how

33/11 = 3

48/16 = 3

66/22 = 3

so we're tripling each given side to get the new corresponding side
