Question 308048: The lengths of the three sides of a right triangle are 6,8,10. If the perimeter of a similar triangle is 72, what is the length of its shortest side? Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 6+8+10=24
72/24=3 IS THE MULTIPLIER.
6*3=18 THE SHORTEST SIDE.
8*3=24
10*3=30
PROOF:
18+24+30=72
72=72
