the shortest side of a triangle similar to $\triangle xyz$ is 20 units long. find the other side lengths of the triangle.
the other side lengths are units and units
Step1: Find similarity ratio
The shortest side of $\triangle XYZ$ is 10 units, and the shortest side of the similar triangle is 20 units.
Ratio $r = \frac{20}{10} = 2$
Step2: Calculate first unknown side
Multiply the side length 12 by the ratio.
$12 \times 2 = 24$
Step3: Calculate second unknown side
Multiply the side length 13 by the ratio.
$13 \times 2 = 26$
