The perimeters of two similar triangles are 24 cm and 16 cm respectively. If one side of the first triangle is 9 cm long, then what is the length of its corresponding side of the other triangle? |
6 cm 7 cm 8 cm 5 cm |
6 cm |
Concept used :- Ratio of perimeter of triangle = Ratio of Side of triangle Triangle 1 : Triangle 2 Perimeter 24 : 16 3 : 2 So, Side 3 : 2 According to question, 3R = 9 1R = 3 Now, 2R = 2 × 3 = 6 The correct answer is Option (1) → 6 cm |
