Triangles PQR and STU are similar. The length of PQ = 36 cm, RP = 48 cm and QR = 24
1 answer:
Answer:
207 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Because ΔPQR ≅ΔSTU and the longest side in the ΔPQR is RP then the longest side in ΔSTU must be SU = 92 cm
Perimeter of triangle PQR is
P(ΔPQR) = 36+48+24 = 108 cm
Because the triangles are are similar their sides are in proportion.
But how much bigger did the second triangle get?...is (92/48) times bigger
P(ΔSTU) = 180*(92/48) = 207 cm
...you can also use proportions to find each side and then find the perimeter
TU = 24*92 /48 = 46
TS = 36*92/48 = 69
SU = 92
P(ΔSTU) = 92+69+46 =207 cm
*the triangles are not drawn to scale

Answer:
Area = 370 m²
Cost to paint = £105
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the wall of a cinema hall = Area of a trapezoid (1)+ Area of a rectangle (2) + Area of a trapezoid (3)
Area of a trapezoid =
where and
are the parallel sides and h is the distance between these sides.
Area of trapezoid (1) =
= 69 m²
Area of the rectangle (2) = Length × Width
= 12 × 15
= 180 m²
Area of the trapezoid (3) =
= 121 m²
Now area of the wall = 69 + 180 + 121
= 370 m²
One tin covers the area = 25 m²
Number of tins required to paint the wall =
=
= 14.8
Therefore, number of tins to be purchased = 15
Cost to paint the complete wall = 15 × £7
= £105
