Given:
Triangle ABC ∼ triangle PQR, perimeter of triangle ABC = 32cm, perimeter of triangle PQR = 48cm and PR = 6cm
since the y are similar,
AB/PQ = BC/QR = AC/PR
AC/PR = perimeter of triangle ABC/perimeter of triangle PQR
AC/6 = 32/48
AC*48 = 6*32
therefore AC = 4cm

Hey !!!
∆ABC = 32cm
∆PQR = 48cm
PR= 6cm
AC = ?
As you know that The ratio of the perimeter of two similar triangle is same as the ratio of corresponding sides
so, According to this theorem
perimeter of ∆ABC /perimeter. of triangle ∆PQR = AC/PR
=> 32/48 = AC/6
=> 32×6/48 = AC
=> 32/8 = 4Cm Answer
AC = 4cm
