Answer:
27cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Triangle A:
Shortest side = 12cm
Area of triangle = 8cm^2
Triangle B:
shortest side =?
AREA of triangle = 18cm^2
If triangle A and B are similar :.
Area A / Area B = Length A / length B
8cm^2 / 18 = 12 / length B
Cross multiply :
8cm * Length B = 18 × 12
Length B = 216 / 8
Length B = 27
Therefore, the shortest of the other triangle IS 27cm
