You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Since these are all \"length\"s, you can just do a simple proportion as they are similar.
\n" ); document.write( "\"perimeter%2Fshortleg=perimeter%2Fshortleg\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"33%2F7.5=x%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "Solve the proportion, and the perimeter of the smaller triangle is 22.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
