Jordan makes a scale drawing of the triangle in which the side originally measuring 6 cm now measures 24 cm. In Jordan’s scale drawing, what will be the length of the longest side of the triangle?
If the original side measuring 6 cm now measures 24 cm in the scale drawing, this means that the scale factor is 24/6 = 4.
Therefore, the length of the longest side of the triangle in the scale drawing will be 4 times the original length. If the original length was 8 cm, then the longest side in the scale drawing will be 4 * 8 cm = 32 cm.
