Answer:
Hence, the perimeter of the triangles are:
P=123.2727 dm
P'=102.7272 dm
Step-by-step explanation:
In two similar triangles:
The ratio of the areas of two triangle is equal to the square of their perimeters.
Let A and A' represents the area of two triangles and P and P' represents their perimeter.
Then they are related as:
We are given:
A=72 dm^2 , A'=50 dm^2
and P+P'=226 dm.-----------(1)
i.e.
on taking square root on both the side we get:
Now putting the value of P in equation (1) we obtain:
Hence,
P=226-102.7272=123.2727
Hence, the perimeter of the triangles are:
P=123.2727 dm
P'=102.7272 dm
