A triangle has side lengths of 3 meters , 5 meters ,and 4 meters . the triangle is enlarged so that larger triangle is similar to the original and the scale factor is 5 . find the perimeter of the larger triangle

original triangle --> 3 meters, 5 meters, 4 meters
perimeter original triangle --> 3 + 5 + 4 = 12 meters

larger triangle scale factor 5, so 5 times bigger
larger triangle sides -->
3 * 5 = 15 meters, 5 * 5 = 25 meters, 4 * 5 = 20 meters
larger triangle perimeter --> 15 + 25 + 20 = 60 meters

3+4+5=12 P of smaller triangle.
12*5=60 P of larger triangle.
