Question

After being reduced by a scale factor of , the resulting triangle has the side lengths of 8, 12, and 16. 2 5 What are the side lengths of the original triangle?

Answer 1

The original triangle's side lengths would be 40, 60, and 80.

To find the original side lengths, we need to multiply the reduced side lengths by the scale factor of 5.

8 * 5 = 40
12 * 5 = 60
16 * 5 = 80

So, the original triangle's side lengths are 40, 60, and 80.
