Given:

Triangle ABC and DEF are similar .

AB=92 cm, BC=48 cm, AC=120 cm 

rr2349

Concept used:

Given △ABC ∼ △DEF,

Therefore, 

\({AB\over DE} ={BC\over EF}={AC\over DF}\)

Calculation:

\({BC \over EF} ={AC \over DF}\)

\({48 \over 200} ={120 \over DF}\)

\(DF={200 \over 48} \times 120\)

DF = 500 cm

∴ The length of the longest side of triangle DEF is 500 cm.
