Practicing Success
If $ΔABC ∼ Δ QRP, \frac{ar(ΔABC)}{ar(ΔQRP)}=\frac{9}{4}$, AB = 18 cm, BC = 15 cm then the length of PR is: |
16 cm 14 cm 10 cm 12 cm |
10 cm |
We know that the area of the triangle is the square of the side . Given, $ΔABC ∼ Δ QRP, \frac{ar(ΔABC)}{ar(ΔQRP)}=\frac{9}{4}$ = \(\frac{BC}{PR}\) = \(\frac{15}{PR}\) = \(\frac{15^2}{PR^2}\)= $\frac{9}{4}$ = \(\frac{15}{PR}\) = $\frac{3}{2}$ PR = 10 cm |
