Answer:

49 units.

Explanation:

We are given that these triangles are similar so the corresponding sides are in the same ratio.

The sides in the larger triangle are 22/11 = 2 times the sides in the smaller one.

Therefore the missing sides in triangle ABC are 1/2 * 44 = 22 and 1/2 * 32 = 16 units long.

THe perimeter = 11 + 16 + 22 = 49 units .

Looking at the picture, it looks like each side of XYZ is double the size of ABC

To find each side of ABC, let’s divide each side of XYZ

22/2= 11 (already given)
32/2= 16
44/2= 22

The perimeter will be found by adding all of those sides together

11+16+22= 49

Answer: 49
