Step-by-step explanation:

$\triangle HFM \sim \triangle PST... (Given) \\\\\therefore \frac{HF}{PS} = \frac{FM}{ST} = \frac{HM}{PT}...(csst) \\ \\ \therefore \frac{30}{PS} = \frac{35}{ST} = \frac{45}{9}\\ \\ \therefore \frac{30}{PS} = \frac{35}{ST} = \frac{5}{1} \\ \\ \therefore \frac{30}{PS} = \frac{5}{1} \\ \\ \therefore PS = \frac{30}{5} \\ \\\boxed{ \therefore PS = 6 }\\ \\ \because \: \frac{35}{ST} = \frac{5}{1} \\ \\ \therefore \: ST = \frac{35}{5} \\ \\ \boxed{\therefore \: ST = 7} \\ \\ perimeter \: of \: \triangle PST \\ = 9 + 7 + 6 \\ = 22 \: units$

(a) Suppose you have 9 gold coins that look identical, but you also know one (and only one) of them is counterfeit. The counterf

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You can split the coins into 3 groups, each of them has 3 coins. Weigh group 1 vs group 2, if one is lighter, that group has the fake coin. If both groups weigh the same, then group 3 has the fake coin.

Continue to split the group that has the fake coin into 3 groups, each group has 1 coin. Now apply the same procedure and we can identify the fake coin.

Total of scale usage is 2

b) if you have $3^n$ coins then you can apply the same approach and find the fake coin with just n steps. By splitting up to 3 groups each step, after each step you should be able to narrow down your suspected coin by 3 times.
