NEED HELP ASAP
help pleassssssssssse
when triangles are similar, their corresponding sides and perimeter are proportional.
so what would it be then? I'm a bit confused @hartnn
you familiar with the term, scale factor ?
not at all @ganeshie8
ok, then make a proportion of two correspondng part ratios like this :- \(\large \frac{15}{5} = \frac{?}{12}\)
? is the new perimeter of ABC. can you solve
36? @ganeshie8
perfect !
thanks ! @ganeshie8 could you help me with another if I need help?
also we can confirm the answer by seeing that, the side of ABC is 3 times the side of DEF. so perimeter also will have to be 3 times larger. ya sure ask
okay @ganeshie8
so, left flag is larger. have a look at one corresponding side in each of the flag. left flag = 12 right flag = 4 that means, left flag side is 3 times larger than right flag eh ?
yeah
so left flag's perimeter also will be 3 times larger than right flag left flag perimeter = 3*right flag perimeter = ?
= 48?
correct ! you're mastering these !!
aha thanks i'm not good at math i suck
thanks for your help.... as of right now I don't need anymore help but if I do I'll message you, okay?
ya sure... you've good logical thinking. for geometry it helps a lot. just take it slow you'll enjoy math :)
