Every question above mine is answered. Did anyone take the time to read this? I don't even want a solution just the steps I need.
Add up 5+6+9 = 20
the larger triangle has a perimeter 50/20 as big, so each of its sides will be 50/20 as big as the corresponding sides of the smaller triangle.
the larger triangle has a perimeter 50/20 as big, so each of its sides will be 50/20 as big as the corresponding sides of the smaller triangle.
