Q22 of 180 Page 3

If ∆ABC~∆QRP, AB = 18cm and BC = 15cm, then what is the length of PR?

Given,


∆ABC ~ ∆QRP


AB = 18cm and


BC = 15cm



By Similar triangles area property, the ratio of area of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of square of their corresponding sides.


So,


We have,



(By similar triangles area property).


But given


[ BC = 15cm given]



RP = √100 = 10cm
