Question

Calculate the other sides of a triangle whose shortest side is 6cm and which is similar to a triangle whose sides are 4cm, 7cm and 8cm.

KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

Let △ABC ~ △DEF in which shortest side of △ABC be BC = 6cm. △DEF, DE = 8cm, EF = 4cm and DF = 7cm. Since, △ABC ~ △DEF so, Now consider, Hence, the other sides of triangle are 10.5cm and 12cm.
