Two pieces of cloth are shaped like similar triangles. the lengths of the sides of the first piece of cloth are 5 inches, 9 inches, and 12 inches. the length of the shortest side of the second piece of cloth is 15 inches. what is the length of the longest side of the second piece of cloth?
a. 19in.
b. 22in.
c. 36in.
d. 27in.

The answer to your question is letter C. 36 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Length of the sides of the smallest triangle    5 in, 9 in and 12 in

Length of the smallest side of the biggest triangle 15 in, x, y

Process

1.- Use proportions to solve this problem

2.- Solve for y

3.- Simplifying and result

                          y = 36 in

- both graphs increase on their domain.

- the graphs of both functions have the same x-intercept.

- neither graph has a y-intercept.
