Front

Find the missing length if the sides of two similar triangles are in the ratio 2:3 and one side of the smaller triangle is 4.

Back

The corresponding side of the larger triangle is 6.

What is the formula for finding the length of a side in similar triangles?

Back

If triangle A is similar to triangle B, then (side of A)/(side of B) = (corresponding side of A)/(corresponding side of B).
