Two similar triangles have corresponding sides 6 cm and 9 cm in the smaller and larger triangles. A side of 8 cm in the smaller triangle corresponds to what length in the larger?
Q1. Two similar triangles have corresponding sides 6 cm and 9 cm in the smaller and larger triangles. A side of 8 cm in the smaller triangle corresponds to what length in the larger?
Answer: 12 cm
Explanation: The scale factor from smaller to larger is 9 over 6, which is 3 over 2. Multiplying 8 by 3 over 2 gives 12 cm.
