Can someone please help me with this one? Kaitlyn runs on a triangular track in a local park. On Saturday, she runs one lap around track BAC. The length of each path on this track is shown in meters (m) in the diagram below. If track DEF is similar in shape to track BAC, how many meters, rounded to the nearest tenth, would Kaitlyn run in one lap on track BAC? Type the numeric answer only in the box below. Numerical Answers Expected!

Here is the problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well I believe track BAC is 2x larger than track DEF

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No no.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We want to multiply all the numbers on DEF by 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So.. 22+18+26=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so the three sides equal 66

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah. so say 66m.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the correct answer is 66, thank you.
