Question

△MNO ~△DEF. Identify the perimeter and area of △MNO to the nearest tenth. PLEASE HELP!!!

Answer 1

P ≈ 38.7 in., A ≈ 63.7 in2

Answer 2

Perimeter of MNO = 38.71 in.

Area of MNO = 63.73 sq. in.

Explanation:

Since the two triangles are similar, this means that

- linear dimensions are proportional to ratio of corresponding sides

- areas are proportional to ratio of corresponding sides.

Ratio of corresponding sides of MNO to DEF

= 6.7/9

Therefore

Perimeter of MNO = P*6.7/9 = 38.71 in.

Area of MNO = A*(6.7/9)^2 = 63.73 sq. in.

all results have been calculated to the second place of decimal
