Q27 of 186 Page 263

ΔABC ~ ΔDEF and the perimeters of ΔABC and ΔDEF are 30 cm and 18 cm respectively. If BC = 9 cm then EF = ?

Since the ABC ∼ DEF


Their sides will be same ratios. Let the ratio be K


= = = K………….1


AB + BC + AC = K (DE + EF + DF)


= K


1.67 = k


From…… 1


= 1.67


EF = 5.4 cm

In ΔABC, DE || BC so that AD = (7x — 4) cm, AE = (5x — 2) cm, DB = (3x + 4) cm and EC = 3x cm. Then, we have

 26

In ΔABC, DE || BC such that AD/ DB = 3/5. If AC = 5.6 then AE = ?

ΔABC ~ ΔDEF such that AB = 9.1 cm and DE = 6.5 cm. If the perimeter of ΔDEF is 25 cm, what is the perimeter of ΔABC?

 29

In ΔABC, it is given that AB = 9 cm, BC = 6 cm and CA = 7.5 cm. Also, ΔDEF is given such that EF = 8 cm and ΔDEF ~ ΔABC. Then, perimeter of ΔDEF is
