Question

In the given figure,∆ RAM~∆PQR
, AM = 18 cm,
QP = 12 cm and RM = 24 cm, find the measure of
PR.
Ans: 16 cm​

Answer 1

Answer:

16 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

∆ RAM~∆PQR

$\frac{ AM}{QR} = \frac{RM}{PR}$

$\frac{18}{12} = \frac{24}{PR} \\ \\ PR = \frac{24 \times 12}{18} \\ \\ PR = \frac{24 \times 2}{3} \\ \\ PR = 8 \times 2 \\ \\ PR = 16 \: cm$
