Could someone help me as to how to work this out?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the perimeter of the big triangle is 80 ft

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

So 24+24+x = 80 Solve for x

Um, I got 32...

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

now divide that by 4 (since you divide each side of the larger triangle by 4 to get the corresponding side of the smaller triangle)

8 :)
