Answer:

Original side of triangle = 6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Perimeter = 45 units

Scale factor = 2.5 (Increase)

Find:

Original side of triangle = ?

Computation:

Original Perimeter = Perimeter / Scale factor

Original Perimeter = 45 units / 2.5

Original Perimeter = 18 units

Perimeter of an equilateral triangle = 3 (Side)

18 units = 3 (Side)

Side = 6 units

Original side of triangle = 6 units
