Solution and Explanation

In similar triangles, corresponding sides are in the ratio of their perimeters: \[ \text{Ratio of perimeters} = \dfrac{33}{22} = \dfrac{3}{2} \] If one side of the first triangle is 9 cm, then corresponding side of the second triangle: \[ = \dfrac{3}{2} \times 9 = 13.5 \, \text{cm} \]
