Video Summary

The wire is cut into three pieces where each piece is 50% longer than the previous one. The longest piece is denoted as \( L \). Consequently, the next longest piece is \( \frac{2}{3}L \), and the shortest is \( \frac{4}{9}L \). Adding these gives \( \frac{19}{9}L \), which equals the total wire length of 95 meters. Solving for \( L \) gives the longest piece as 45 meters. Thus, the length of the largest piece is 45 meters.
