i was given this question off a pratice worksheet. Lesson 1-3 Practice Algebra 2 Chapter 1 Solving Equations Answer by checkley71(8403) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 5+12+13=30 FOR THE PERIMETER OF THE TRIANGLE. THE NEW TRIANGLE IS ONLY 15 OR 50% OF THE ORIGINAL TRIANGLE THUS EVERY SIDE OF THE NEW TRIANGLE IS 50% OF THE ORIGINAL TRIANGLE. OR 2.5, 6 & 6.5
