Question:

ΔPQR is similar to ΔUVW. Perimeter of ΔPQR and ΔUVW are 120 cm and 240 cm respectively. If PQ = 30 cm, then what is the length of UV?

Options:

45 cm

60 cm

75 cm

90 cm

Correct Answer:

60 cm

Explanation:

Using the concept

= (perimeter of \(\Delta \)PQR)/(perimeter of \(\Delta \)UVW) = \(\frac{PQ}{UV}\)

= \(\frac{120}{240}\) = \(\frac{30}{UV}\)

= \(\frac{1}{2}\) = \(\frac{30}{UV}\)

= UV = 60

Therefore UV is 60.
