Perimeter of one triangle is 5 8 of the perimeter of a similar triangle. the difference of the lengths of two corresponding sides is 9m. what are the lengths of these sides?

The side lengths are 15 m and 24 m

Step-by-step explanation:

I like to work these in terms of "ratio units" and what they stand for.

If the ratio of side lengths is 5 : 8, the difference in ratio units is 8-5 = 3. That difference of 3 ratio units stands for a difference in actual side lengths of 9 m, so each ratio unit must represent 3 m.

Then the triangle sides are ...

  5·(3 m) = 15 m

  8·(3 m) = 24 m

the distance from any point on the parabola to the focus is the exact same as the distance from that point to the directrix.

if you could provide answer choices that might allow me to answer the question easier if my above answer isn't an option! (:

answer: 2/4
