D all the above. I had this question also
It would be c your welcome
The square had a side length of 3x+13.
Because the perimeter is 12x+52, you have to divide that by each of the four sides.
Answer: The altitude of the smaller triangle is 14.4 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Two similar triangles have a scale factor of 3:5. This can also be expressed as 3/5
The altitude of the larger triangle is 24 inches. The difference in altitude or other lengths of the two similar triangles is linear. To determine the altitude of the smaller triangle, let us assign x to the altitude of the smaller triangle. It means that 3:5 = x : 24. Therefore
3/5 = x/24
Cross multiplying, it becomes
5x = 3×24 = 72
x = 72/5 = 14.4
