The other sides measure:
- 6"*2.5 = 15"
- 10"*2.5 = 25"
- 14"*2.5 = 35"
- 24"*2.5 = 60"
How to get the lengths of the sides of a similar pentagon?
All the measures must be multiplied by the same scale factor to get a similar pentagon.
If in the original pentagon the shortest side measures 2", and in the similar pentagon the shortest side measures 5", then we have:
5" = k*2"
5"/2" = k = 2.5
Then the scale factor is 2.5
To get the other sides of the pentagon, we just need to multiply the other sides of the original pentagon by 2.5
The other sides measure:
- 6"*2.5 = 15"
- 10"*2.5 = 25"
- 14"*2.5 = 35"
- 24"*2.5 = 60"
