Two triangles are similar. The sides of the first triangle is 2,4,6. The largest side of the second triangle is 24. Find the perimeter of the second triangle.
----
Notice that the longest side is 3 times the shortest in the original triangle.
Notice that the middle side is 2 times the shortest in the original triangle.
------
The new triangle sides must be 8,16,24
The perimeter is 8+16+24 = 48
