Question 1012048: The shortest legs of two similar triangles are 5 and 7.5. If the bigger triangle has perimeter 33, find the perimeter of the smaller triangle. Answer by ValorousDawn(53) (Show Source):
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.
Solve the proportion, and the perimeter of the smaller triangle is 22.
