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.

k=\dfrac{\text{Length in larger triangle}}{\text{Length in smaller triangle}}

k=\dfrac{52}{20}\\\\\Rightarrow\ k=\dfrac{13}{5}

Length of other two sides,

10\times\dfrac{13}{5}, 15\times\dfrac{13}{5}\ i.e.\ 26\text{ units}, 39\text{ units.}

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.

Which polar coordinates represent the same point as (4, −π/2)
marin [14]
You can go full 2π rotate around counterclockwise so the angle wouldn't be negative.

So -π/2 + 2π = -π/2 + 4π/2 = 3π/2

So (4, 3π/2) is the same point as (4, -π/2)
