Question 258196: the side lengths of the smaller of two similar triangles are 3,4,and 5.The shortest side of the larger triangle is 9.find the lengths of the remaining two sides of the larger triangle Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 3,4,5 is a classic right triangle.
If the triangle are similar then they are proportional
9/3 is three times
3*4=12
3*5=15
