Asked by Ian
Similar scalene triangles are drawn on a coordinate plane. One triangle has side lengths of 1, 4, and 6. The other triangle has side lengths of 3 and 12, corresponding to the first triangle. Use the SSS criterion to determine the third side length of the corresponding triangle.

If the triangles are similar, all corresponding side ratios are equal. The only way the two given ratios match is 3/1 = 12/4 = 3, so the scale factor is 3. Thus the third side is 6·3 = 18.
