The sides of the triangle are proportional to the numbers 2.5 and 4.

The sides of the triangle are proportional to the numbers 2.5 and 4. Find the larger side of a similar triangle, the smaller side of which is 22cm.

We know that the sides of one of the triangles are proportional to the numbers 2: 5: 4. Find the larger side of a similar triangle, whose smaller side is 22 cm.

We can find the coefficient of similarity of these triangles.

Let’s denote it by k and write the equation:

2k = 22;

k = 22: 2;

k = 11 coefficient of similarity.

To find the larger side, we must multiply the similarity factor by 5.

So, we get the value:

11 * 5 = 55 cm length of the larger side of a similar triangle given.

Answer: 55 cm.
