An isosceles triangle has a base of 20cm and legs measuring 36cm. How long are the legs of a similar triangle with a base measuring 50cm?

Sagot :

Answer:

90 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, then

50 ÷ 20 = 2.5

The legs of the similar triangle are 2.5 times the original legs, that is

legs of similar triangle = 2.5 × 36 cm = 90 cm
