Question: If two triangles are similar and the lengths of the sides of the first triangle are 3 cm, 4 cm, and 5 cm, what are the lengths of the sides of the second triangle if the ratio of similarity is 2:1?
Options:
Correct Answer: 6 cm, 8 cm, 10 cm
Solution:
In similar triangles, corresponding sides are in the same ratio. If the ratio is 2:1, the sides of the second triangle will be 2 × (3 cm, 4 cm, 5 cm) = (6 cm, 8 cm, 10 cm).
