You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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
