Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :-
Perimeter of 1st Triangle = 25 cm
Perimeter of 2nd Triangle = 15 cm
One side of Triangle = 9 cm
To Find :-
Side of 2nd triangle = ??
Formula to be used :-
Ratio of corresponding sides of similar triangles is same as the ratio of their perimeters.
AB/PQ = BC/QR = AC/PR
Solution :-
Let the two triangles be ABC and PQR.
AB/PQ = BC/QR = AC/PR = 25/15
⇒ 9/PQ = 25/15
⇒ 25 PQ = 15 × 9
⇒ PQ = (15 × 9)/25
⇒ PQ =(3 × 9 )/5
⇒ PQ = 27/5
⇒ PQ = 5.4 cm
Hence, the side of second triangle 5.4 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:
- The perimeter s of two similar triangles is 25cm and 15cm respectively. if one side of the first triangle is 9cm then find the side of second triangle
___________________________
- the perimeter s of two similar triangles is 25cm and 15cm respectively.
- one side of the first triangle is 9cm
___________________________
- the side of second triangle
_____________________________
In similar trione side of the angles, the perimeter of the triangles will be in the ratio of their corresponding sides.
Now, per(∆ABC)/per(∆DEF)=AB/DE
We ge
25/15=9/D
25DE =9×15
DE=135/25
DE=5.4
