IF ΔABC ∼ ΔPQR, the ratio of perimeter of ΔABC to perimeter of ΔPQR is 36: 23 and QR-3.8 cm, then the length of BC is:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 5 cm.
△ABC ~ △PQR
So, Perimeter of △ABC / Perimeter of △PQR = BC/QR
⇒ 36/23 = BC/3.8
⇒ BC = (36 × 3.8)/23 = 684/115 = cm
Therefore, the length of BC is cm.
