Question 1064603: I want to confirm if I understood .
Problem states : Draw a right triangle with a base of 2 units and a height of 3 units. Make three �copies� so that the lengths of
the new sides are 50%, 300%, and 500% of the original.
Solution:
1st triangle
Base2�0.5= 1 new base will be 2+1=3
Height 3�0.5=1.5 new height 3+1.5=4.5
So new triangle base 3units and height 4.5 units
Second triangle:
2�3=6 so, 6+2=8
3�3=9 so, 3+9=12
New triangle base 8 height 12
