MCQ
$\triangle\text{ABC}\sim\triangle\text{DEF}$ such that $AB = 9.1cm$ and $DE = 6.5cm$. If the perimeter of $\triangle\text{DEF}$ is 25cm, what is the perimeter of $\triangle\text{ABC}?$
- ✓$35cm$
- B$28cm$
- C$42cm$
- D$40cm$
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
$35cm$
$\triangle\text{ABC}\sim\triangle\text{DEF}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{Perimeters of }\triangle\text{ABC}}{\text{Perimeters of }\triangle\text{DEF}}=\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{DE}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{Perimeters of }\triangle\text{ABC}}{25}=\frac{9.1}{6.5}$
$\Rightarrow\text{Perimeters of }\triangle\text{ABC}=\frac{9.1\times25}{6.5}$
$\Rightarrow\text{Perimeters of }\triangle\text{ABC}=35\text{cm}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{Perimeters of }\triangle\text{ABC}}{\text{Perimeters of }\triangle\text{DEF}}=\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{DE}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{Perimeters of }\triangle\text{ABC}}{25}=\frac{9.1}{6.5}$
$\Rightarrow\text{Perimeters of }\triangle\text{ABC}=\frac{9.1\times25}{6.5}$
$\Rightarrow\text{Perimeters of }\triangle\text{ABC}=35\text{cm}$
