Answer» Given : Area of ∆ ABCArea of ∆QRP = 9/4 AB = 18 cm , BC = 15 cm So PR = ? We know when two triangles are similar then " The areas of two similar triangles are proportional to the squares of their corresponding sides. Area of ∆ ABCArea of ∆ QRP = AB2/QR2 = BC2/PR2 = AC2/QP2So , we take Area of ∆ ABC/Area of ∆ QRP = BC2/PR2 Now substitute all given values and get 9/4 = 15²/PR² Taking square root on both hand side , we get PR = 10 cm |
