The perimeters of two similar triangles are 25 cm and 15 cm respectively. If one side of first triangle is 9 cm, what is the corresponding side of the other triangle?

Assume ABC and PQR to be 2 triangle.


We, have


ΔABC ~ΔPQR


Perimeter of ΔABC = 25cm


Perimeter of ΔPQR = 15cm


AB = 9cm


PQ = ?


Since, ΔABC ~ΔPQR


Then, ratio of perimeter of triangles = ratio of corresponding sides


So, (Corresponding parts of similar triangle area proportion)


Or


Or PQ = 135/25


Or PQ = 5.4 cm
