Question
Two sides and the perimeter of one triangle are respectively three times the corresponding sides and the perimeter of the other triangle. Are the two triangles similar? Why?
Solution
Here, the corresponding two sides and the perimeters of two triangles are proportional, then third side of both triangles will also in proportion.
