Answer:
The perimeter of △HFM is 50.75 units
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The correct picture of the question in the attached figure</em></u>
we know that
If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional, and this ratio is called the scale factor
we have
△HFM∼△PST ----> given problem
step 1
Find the scale factor
Let
z ----> the scale factor
substitute the given values
step 2
Find the perimeter of triangle PST
Remember that the perimeter of a triangle is the sum of its three length sides
step 3
Find the perimeter of triangle HFM
we know that
If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its perimeters is equal to the scale factor
so
The perimeter of triangle HFM is equal to the perimeter of triangle PST multiplied by the scale factor
so
