Answer:

27cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Triangle A:

Shortest side = 12cm

Area of triangle = 8cm^2

Triangle B:

shortest side =?

AREA of triangle = 18cm^2

If triangle A and B are similar :.

Area A / Area B = Length A / length B

8cm^2 / 18 = 12 / length B

Cross multiply :

8cm * Length B = 18 × 12

Length B = 216 / 8

Length B = 27

Therefore, the shortest of the other triangle IS 27cm
