Question

similar scalene triangles are drawn on a coordinate plane one triangle has side lengths of 1,4, and 6 the 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

Answer 1

Because corresponding sides are in the same ratio, the scale factor is 3 (3/1 = 12/4 = 3). Multiply the third side by 3: 6 × 3 = 18. So the corresponding third side is 18.
