Question 1170226: There are two similar scalene triangles.
Triangle A has a base of 19 cm, a shorter leg = 13 cm and a longer leg = 16 cm.
Triangle B has a shorter leg of 39 cm. What are the measurements in cm for the base and longer leg of Triangle B?

The ratio of the side lengths of the short sides is 13:39 = 1:3.
So each leg of Triangle B is 3 times the length of the corresponding side of Triangle A.
You can do the arithmetic.
