Q2 of 45 Page 47

In In ΔXYZ, XY = 4 cm, YZ = 6 cm, XZ = 5 cm, If ΔXYZ ∼ ΔPQR and PQ = 8 cm then find the lengths of remaining sides of ΔPQR.

Given,


In ΔXYZ, XY = 4 cm, YZ = 6 cm, XZ = 5 cm


ΔPQR, PQ = 8 cm


ΔXYZ ∼ ΔPQR


So, Ratios of corresponding sides.



⇒


⇒


⇒ QR = 6 × 2 cm and PR = 5 × 2 cm


⇒ QR = 12 cm and PR = 10 cm
