anyone? help plz!

Okay, so the bottom increased by 6. In other words it dilated by 6. Therefor the other sides need to match this change, since the two figures are similar. |dw:1415755488067:dw|

So, if one side increases by 6, then the other sides must do the same. Does that make any since?

anonymous · Answer

okay let me explain ! so since one side is 21 then for the other one it would be 27 ?

timmyk14 · Answer

Yes, because the two figures are identical. You can't increase the size of one side of the figure and leave the other figure the same; they would no longer be identical. So this is the answer...|dw:1415756193282:dw|
