Question 636139: Hello im a bit itchy about this question : Three sides of a triangle are are 2, 4, and 5. the two smallest size of a similar triangle are 6 and 12. find the measure of the missing side.
Do I just do this: 6^2+12^2= c^2 and solve? But then what was the point of the other triangle and it's side?
Thanks~
