MCQ
In $\triangle\text{ABC}\sim\triangle\text{DEF}$ and the perimeters of $\triangle\text{ABC}$ and $\triangle\text{DEF}$ are 30cm and 18cm respectively. If BC = 9cm then EF =?
- A6.3cm
- ✓5.4cm
- C7.2cm
- D4.5cm
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
5.4cm
$\triangle\text{ABC}\sim\triangle\text{DEF}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{Perimeters of }\triangle\text{ABC}}{\text{Perimeters of }\triangle\text{DEF}}=\frac{\text{BC}}{\text{EF}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{30}{18}=\frac{9}{\text{EF}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{9\times18}{\text{30}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{EF}=5.4\text{cm}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{Perimeters of }\triangle\text{ABC}}{\text{Perimeters of }\triangle\text{DEF}}=\frac{\text{BC}}{\text{EF}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{30}{18}=\frac{9}{\text{EF}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{9\times18}{\text{30}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{EF}=5.4\text{cm}$
