A triangle with a perimeter of 50 units is the image of a triangle that was dilated by a
scale factor of 3/4. Find the perimeter of the preimage, the original triangle, before its
dilation. Round your answer to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

A triangle with a perimeter of 50 units is the image of a triangle that was dilated by a scale factor of 3/4.

Then the perimeter of the preimage, the original triangle, before its

dilation will be

Let c be the perimeter of the original triangle.

Then we have

[tex]\rm \dfrac{3}{4} \times x = 50\\\\x = 66.67[/tex]

Then the perimeter of the original triangle is 66.67 units.
