Question 30 (Choice - 1) The perimeters of two similar triangles are 25cm and 15cm respectively. If one side of the first triangle is 9cm, find the length of the corresponding side of the second triangle.Let two triangles be ΔABC and ΔPQR
Since ΔABC and ΔPQR are similar,
the ratio of their corresponding sides is same
𝐴𝐵/𝑃𝑄=𝐵𝐶/𝑄𝑅=𝐴𝐶/𝑃𝑅
Let
𝐴𝐵/𝑃𝑄=𝐵𝐶/𝑄𝑅=𝐴𝐶/𝑃𝑅=𝑘
∴ AB = kPQ, BC = kQR, AC = kPR
First, finding the Relation between
Ratio of sides of similar Triangles
And
Ratio of Perimeters of similar Triangles
Now,
Perimeter of Δ ABC = AB + BC + AC
= kPQ + kQR + kPR
= k (PQ + QR + PR)
= k × Perimeter of Δ PQR
Therefore,
(𝑃𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓" " ∆𝐴𝐵𝐶)/(𝑃𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓" " ∆𝑃𝑄𝑅) = k
So, we can write
𝐴𝐵/𝑃𝑄=𝐵𝐶/𝑄𝑅=𝐴𝐶/𝑃𝑅=(𝑃𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓" " ∆𝐴𝐵𝐶)/(𝑃𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓" " ∆𝑃𝑄𝑅) " = k "
Given that
The perimeters of two similar triangles are 25cm and 15cm respectively. If one side of the first triangle is 9cm
Therefore,
𝑨𝑩/𝑷𝑸=(𝑷𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇" " ∆𝑨𝑩𝑪)/(𝑷𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇" " ∆𝑷𝑸𝑹) " "
Putting values
9/𝑃𝑄=25/15
9/𝑃𝑄=5/3
PQ = 3/5 × 9
PQ = 𝟐𝟕/𝟓 = 5.4 cm
