The perimeter of the larger triangle is 150% of the perimeter of smaller triangle. Find the dimensions of each triangle.

Answer:
The answer to your questions is:
Perimeter of the larger triangle = 36 units
Perimeter of the smaller triangle = 24 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Perimeter of the larger triangle = 150% of the perimeter of the smaller triangle
x = ?
Formula
Perimeter of the larger triangle = a + b +c
Perimeter of the smaller triangle = a' + b' + c'
a + b + c = 1.5 (a' + b' + c')
15 + 9 + 2x = 1.5 (10 + 8 + x)
24 + 2x = 15 + 12 + 1.5x
24 + 2x = 27 + 1.5x
2x - 1.5x = 27 - 24
0.5x = 3
x = 3 / 0.5 = 6
Perimeter of the larger triangle = 15 + 9 + 2(6) = 36 units
Perimeter of the smaller triangle = a' + b' + c' = 10 + 8 + 6 = 24 units
Answer:
6 = x:
Large Triangle: 15, 12, 9
Petite Triangle: 10, 8, 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Take 15 and 10 and figure out the scale factor:
[tex] \frac{15}{10} = 1\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
You take each large dimension and divide it by the scale factor:
[tex] \frac{9}{1 \frac{1}{2}} = 6 \\ \\ 8(1 \frac{1}{2}) = 2x \\ \\ 12 = 2x \\ \\ 6 = x[/tex]
