On the school copy machine, Mr. Douglas reduced a triangle so that it would fit better in student portfolios. The shortest side of the original triangle was cm; other measurements are shown in the diagram. How long was the longest side of the original triangle? Solve the proportion using the Giant One Method. Larger Obtuse triangle has base labeled, 22, and left side labeled, x. Smaller obtuse triangle has base labeled, 8, and left side, labeled 12. Same orientation as larger triangle.
