Question

If GHJ is equal to LMK, with a scale factor of 5:6, find the perimeter of GHJ.

Answer 1

Answer:  Weeeell,  35

Step-by-step explanation:

1. By definition, the perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lenght of each side.

2. Then, the perimeter of the triangle LMK is:

P_{LMK}=14+17+11\\P_{LMK}=42

3. If both triangles are congruent and the scale factor is 5:6 (Which you can rewrite as a fraction: 5/6), you must multiply the perimeter of the triangle   LMK by this scale factor.

4. Then, you have that the perimeter of the triangle GHJ is:

P_{GHJ}=42*\frac{5}{6}=35
