1. Let's list all the sets. {8, 16, 21}{12, 17, 27}{8, 23, 31}{5, 8, 11}

2. Now is...

8+16 greater than 21?

12+17 greater than 27?

8+23 greater than 31?

5+8 greater than 11?

I'll leave that to you. smiley

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
