Question

The perimeters of two similar triang
are 24 cm and 18 cm respectively
one side of the first triangle is 8
then what is the corresponding sid.
second triangle?​

Answer 1

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

ratio of perimeter of two similar triangles = ratio of corresponding sides

now 24/18=8/x

x=18*8/24

x=6

so answer is 6

Answer 2

Answer :-

6 cm

Solution :-

Perimeters of 1st similar triangle = 24 cm

Perimeter of 2nd similar triangle = 18 cm

Length of the side of the 1st similar triangle = 8 cm

Let the corresponding side of 2nd similar triangle be x

We know that

Ratio of perimeters of two similar triangles = Ratio of their corresponding sides

⇒ 24/18 = 8/x

⇒ 8/6 = 8/x

⇒ x/6 = 8/8

⇒ x/6 = 1

⇒ x = 1 * 6

⇒ x = 6

Therefore the corresponding side of 2nd similar triangle is 6 cm.
