Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Perimeter of triangle ABC = 32cm
Perimeter of triangle PQR = 48cm
PR = 6cm
To find
Length of AC
Proof
According to the basic proportionality theorem
The perimeter of two similar triangles is proportional to the sides of both the triangles.
So,
Area of Triangle ABC/Area of triangle PQR = AB/PQ =
BC/QR = AC/PR
Therefore
Area of triangle ABC/Area of triangle POR = AC/PR
32/48 = AC/6
48AC = 192
AC = 192/48
AC = 4cm
Therefore, length of AC = 4cm
Hope it helps you!
