Question

Given two similar triangles, one with small measurements that can be accurately determined, and the other with large measurements, but at least one is known with accuracy, can the other two measurements be deduced? Explain and give an example.

Answer 1

Yes other two measurements can be deduced

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say ΔABC ≈ ΔPQR

=> AB/PQ = BC/QR  = AC/PR

Now ABC is small triangle

so we can measure AB  , BC & AC

Now one of the side of PQR is known accurately

Let say PQ is known

Hence we know Value of PQ/AB = k

=> AB/PQ = 1/k

=> AB/PQ = BC/QR  = AC/PR = 1/k

=>  QR = k * BC

    PR = k * AC

now k , BC & AC are known

Hence QR & PR can be found
