Given a triangle with sides 3.5 cm 4 cm 5 cm. The large side of a similar triangle is 6 cm.

Given a triangle with sides 3.5 cm 4 cm 5 cm. The large side of a similar triangle is 6 cm. Find the sides of the second triangle.

3.5 <4 <5.

Let us determine what value the similarity coefficient will equal if from the condition of our problem we know for sure that the corresponding sides of the triangles are equal to 5 and 6 centimeters:

6: 5 = 1.2.

Let’s determine what the smaller side of the second triangle will be equal to if it is similar to the side whose length is 3.5 cm:

3.5 * 1.2 = 4.2.

Let’s determine what the side of the second triangle will be equal to if it is similar to the side whose length is 4 cm:

4 * 1.2 = 4.8.

Answer: 4.2 cm and 4.8 cm.
