Jordan makes a scale drawing of the triangle in which the side originally measuring 6 cm now measured 24 cm. In Jordan's scale drawing, what will be the length of the longest side of the triangle?
5 cm, 6 cm, 7 cm
A. 1.75 cm
B. 4 cm
C. 25 cm
D. 28 cm
Since the side originally measuring 6 cm now measures 24 cm in the scale drawing, the scale factor is 24/6 = 4.
If we apply this scale factor to the longest side of the original triangle, which we assume is longer than the side that originally measured 6 cm, we get:
6 cm * 4 = 24 cm
Therefore, the length of the longest side of the triangle in Jordan's scale drawing will be 24 cm.
The correct answer is C. 25 cm.
