You can  put this solution on YOUR website! A triangle has legs that measure 3 feet, 5 feet, and 7 feet. Calculate the dimensions of a similar triangle whose longest side measures 13 inches 
*** 
7 ft=84 inches 
multiply each dimension by 13/84: 
13/84( 3 feet, 5 feet, and 7 feet)=(39/84 ft, 65/84 ft, 91/84 ft)=(5.57 inches, 9.29 inches, 13 inches) 
dimensions of a similar triangle in inches: 5.57 by 9.29 by 13
