Question

If AGHJ ~ ALMK, with a scale factor of 5:6,
find the perimeter of AGHJ.

Answer 1

35

Explanation:

Perimeter of LMK = 14 + 11 + 17

Perimeter of LMK = 42

Perimeter GHJ/ Perimeter LMK = 5/6

Perimeter GHJ / 42 = 5/ 6 Cross Multiply

6*Perimeter GHJ = 42 * 5

6*Perimeter GHJ = 210 Divide by 6

Perimeter GHJ = 210/6

Perimeter GHJ = 35
