Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Triangle ABC and DEF are similar .
AB=92 cm, BC=48 cm, AC=120 cm
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.
