Answer:
207 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Because ΔPQR ≅ΔSTU and the longest side in the ΔPQR is RP then the longest side in ΔSTU must be SU = 92 cm
Perimeter of triangle PQR is
P(ΔPQR) = 36+48+24 = 108 cm
Because the triangles are are similar their sides are in proportion.
But how much bigger did the second triangle get?...is (92/48) times bigger
P(ΔSTU) = 180*(92/48) = 207 cm
...you can also use proportions to find each side and then find the perimeter
TU = 24*92 /48 = 46
TS = 36*92/48 = 69
SU = 92
P(ΔSTU) = 92+69+46 =207 cm
*the triangles are not drawn to scale
