Answer:

8 and 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of the given rectangle is ...

P = 2(L +W)

P = 2(14 +21) = 2(35) = 70

The scale factor to the similar triangle is ...

similar perimeter/original perimeter = 40/70 = 4/7

The dimensions of the similar triangle are the original triangle dimensions multiplied by this scale factor:

(14)(4/7) = 8

(21)(4/7) = 12

The sides of the similar triangle are 8 and 12.

Kelly can type 120 words in 3 minutes. at that ate, how many words can she type in 5 minutes?

madam [21]

$\frac{120\ \text{words}}{3\ \text{minutes}} = \frac{40\ \text{words}}{1\ \text{minute}}$

$\frac{40\ \text{words}}{1\ \text{minute}} \times \frac{5}{5} = \frac{200\ \text{words}}{5\ \text{minutes}}$

Kelly can type 200 words in five minutes.
