    • Question

      ∆ABC and ∆DEF are similar and their areas are

      respectively 64 cm2 and 121 cm 2 . If EF = 15.4 cm BC is?
      A 11.2 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 6 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 10.5 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 14 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Ratio of perimeter of similar triangles = ratio of the corresponding sides of similar triangles. (area of ∆ABC)/(area of ∆DEF)=(BC/EF) 2   64/121 = (BC/15.4) 2 (8/11) 2 = (BC/15.4) 2 8/11 = BC/15.4 BC = (8 × 15.4)/11 = 11.2cm
