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.

ken wants to rent a car for a week and to pay to more than $130. how far can he drive if the car rental cost $94 a week plus $0.
cupoosta [38]
If Ken wants to pay more than 130, he needs to drive more than 90 miles. You subtract 94 from 130, which equals 36. 36 divided by .4 (for the price per mile) and it equals 90.
