Answer: The perimeter of the largest triangle = 117 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Sides of smaller triangle = 10,20 and 15 units
Longest side = 20 units
Longest side of larger triangle = 52 units
Sides of two similar triangles are proportional.
Let k be proportionality constant.
Length of other two sides,
So sides of larger triangle = 52 units, 26 units , 39 units
Perimeter of largest triangle = 52 +26+39 = 117 units
Hence, the perimeter of the largest triangle = 117 units.

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Complete Question:</u>
A monkey is swinging from a tree. On the first swing, she passes through an arc whose length is 24 m. With each swing, she travels along an arc that is half as long as the arc of the previous swing. Which expression gives the total length the monkey swings in her first n swings?
<u>Solution:</u>
First Swing:
24 m
Second Swing:
Half of first, so
24(1/2)
Third Swing:
Half of second, so:
24(1/2)(1/2)
Fourth Swing:
24(1/2)(1/2)(1/2)
So we see the general formula as:
<u>Note:</u> n -1 because (1/2) plays a role from second swing, which is n - 1
where n is the number of swings
