Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are in proportion, that is

$\frac{MN}{FG}$ = $\frac{NP}{GH}$ , substitute values

$\frac{x}{12}$ = $\frac{10}{20}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ ( cross- multiply )

2x = 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 6

If the length of rectangle is thrice of its breadth and it's perimeter is 32 cm then finds its area.

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

48 cm²

Explanation:

Let the breadth be b, then the length is 3b

P = 2(Length + Breadth)

32 = 2(3b + b)

32 = 2(4b)

8b = 32

b = 4

Breadth is 4 cm

Length: 3b = 3(4) = 12 cm

Area of rectangle:

Length × Breadth

12 × 4

48 cm²
