Explanation:
If your actual answer is very far from your estimate, you probably made a mistake somewhere.

<em>Additional comment</em>
50 years ago, when a slide rule was the only available calculation tool, making an estimate of the result was a required part of doing the calculation. Not only were the first one or two significant digits needed, but also the power of 10 that multiplied them. Use of a slide rule required the order of magnitude be computed separately (by hand) from the significant digits of the result.

You may also find it useful to estimate the error in your estimate. That is, you may want to know the approximate answer to 2 (or more) significant digits in order to gain confidence that your calculation is correct.

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.
Length of other two sides,
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.
