Question 134

In two similar triangles ABC and MNP, if AB = 2.25 cm, MP = 4.5 cm and PN = 7.5 cm and m ∠ACB = m ∠MNP and m ∠ABC = m ∠MPN, then the length of side BC , in cm, is

Solution

As we can see, the 2 triangles are similar. Their sides are in the ratio 2:1 (MPN: ABC). Hence, BC will be 7.5/2 = 3.75 cm. Option B is the right answer.
