उत्तर

Given: ΔABC ~ ΔPQR

In ΔABC, AB = 4 cm, BC = 5 cm, AC = 6 cm

In ΔPQR, PQ + QR + PR = 90 cm

To find: PQ, QR and PR

ΔABC ~ ΔPQR       .....[Given]

∴ `"AB"/"PQ" = "BC"/"QR" = "AC"/"PR"`    .....[Corresponding sides of similar triangles]

Let `"AB"/"PQ" = "BC"/"QR" = "AC"/"PR"` = k

∴ `4/"PQ" = 5/"QR" = 6/"PR"` = k     .....[Given]

∴ `4/"PQ"` = k, `5/"QR"` = k and `6/"PR"` = k

∴ PQ = `4/"k"`, QR = `5/"k"` and PR = `6/"k"`   ......(i)

∴ PQ + QR + PR = `4/"k" + 5/"k" + 6/"k"`

∴ 90 =`15/"k"`      .....[Given]

∴ k = `15/90`

= `1/6`

∴ PQ = `4/((1/6))` = 4 × 6 = 24 cm    ...[From (i)]

QR = `5/((1/6))` = 5 × 6 = 30 cm       ...[From (i)]

PR = `6/((1/6))` = 6 × 6 = 36 cm        ...[From (i)]

∴ The sides of the larger triangle are 24 cm, 30 cm and 36 cm.
