if triangle ABC similar to triangle DEF and their sides of lengths in cm are marked along them, then find the lengths of sides of each traingle​

Answered by admin @



If ΔABC is similar to ΔDEF and their sides of lengths in cm are marked along them, then the lengths of sides of each triangle are -

  • We know that triangles ABC and DEF are similar. Therefore each of their sides must be in the same proportion
  • Therefore, 2x-1 =18y
  • 2x+2=(3x+9)y
  • 3x=6xy = y=1/2
  • Therefore, 2x-1 = 18 × 1/2 = x=5
  • Hence, length of -
  • AB = 2x-1 = 9cm
  • BC = 2x+2 = 12cm
  • AC = 3x= 15cm
  • DE = 18cm
  • EF = 3x+9 = 24cm
  • DF = 6x = 30cm
