Question
A 6-8-10 right triangle $A B C$ is similar to a triangle RST with perimeter 72 units. Find the length of each leg of triangle RST.
Step 1
This means that the ratio of corresponding sides of these triangles is constant. We are also given that the perimeter of triangle $ABC$ is $6+8+10=24$ units and the perimeter of triangle $RST$ is $72$ units. Show more…
