Question

A green rectangle tile and a yellow rectangular tile are similar. The green tile has a length of 24 centimeters and a perimeter of 80 centimeters. The yellow tile has a length of 72 centimeters. What is the perimeter of the yellow tile?

Answer 1

"The perimeter of yellow tile is 240 cm."

Green tile and yellow tile are similar.
Perimeter of green tile = 80 cm
length of green tile = 24 cm
length of yellow tile = 72 cm
perimeter of yellow tile = ?
now you see if you multiply the length of green tile with 3 you get the length of yellow tile;
24 x 3 = 72 cm
As given that both tiles are similar so, if you multiply the perimeter of green tile with 3, you will get the perimeter of yellow tile;
80 x 3 = 240 cm
