Question

The perimeter of GHJ

Answer 1

They have a scale factor of 5:6 so first we need to find the perimeter of KLM:
$11 + 14 + 17 = 42$
Then apply the scale factor of 5:6:
$\frac{5}{6} = \frac{x}{42}$
Set the denominators equal:
$\frac{35}{42} = \frac{x}{42}$
So we see that the perimeter of GHJ is 35.
