Q11 of 62 Page 193

The perimeters of two similar triangles are 24 cm and 18 cm respectively. If one side of the first triangle is 8 cm, then the corresponding side of the other triangle is


Given: Perimeter (ABC) = 24 cm2, Perimeter (DEF) = 18 cm2 and BC = 8 cm


Perimeters of two similar triangles are in the ratio 24:18 = 4:3


We know that if two triangles are similar, then the ratio of the corresponding sides is equal to the


ratio of the corresponding perimeters.

The sides of two similar triangles are in the ratio 2:3, then their areas are in the ratio

 10

Triangles ABC and DEF are similar. If their areas are 100 cm2 and 49 cm2 respectively and BC is 8.2 cm then EF =

 12

AB and CD are two chords of a circle which when produced to meet at a point P such that AB = 5 cm, AP = 8 cm, and CD = 2 cm then PD =

 13

In the adjoining figure, chords AB and CD intersect at P.

If AB = 16 cm, PD = 8 cm, PC = 6 and AP >PB, then AP =
