Question

The sides of a smaller triangle, out of two similar triangles are 8, 10 and 12 units respectively. If the perimeter of the larger triangle is 180 units, find the lengths of the sides of the larger triangle.

Answer 1

8x+10x+12x=180

30x = 180

$x = \frac{30}{180}$

x= 6

a= 48

b= 60

c= 72
