Sagot :

Answer:

Below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

As they are similar corresponding sides are in the same proportion so

3/2 = BC/3

2BC = 3*3

2BC = 9

BC = 4.5.

3/2 = 5/DF

3DF = 2*5

DF = 2*5 / 3

= 3.33...

Perimeter of ABC = 3 + 4.5 + 5 = 12.5.

Perimeter of DEF =  2 + 3 + 3.33.. = 8.33...

Answer:

BC = 4.5 cm

DF = 10/3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding sides of similar triangles are in same ratio

[tex]\frac{BC}{EF}=\frac{AB}{DE}\\\\\frac{BC}{3} =\frac{3}{2}\\\\BC = \frac{3}{2}*3\\\\BC = \frac{9}{2}\\\\BC = 4.5 cm[/tex]

[tex]\frac{DF}{AC}=\frac{DE}{AB}\\\\\frac{DF}{5}=\frac{2}{3}\\\\DF = \frac{2}{3}*5\\\\DF = \frac{10}{3}[/tex]

Perimeter of ΔABC = 3 + 5 +4.5 = 12.5cm

Perimeter of ΔDEF = 2 + 3 + 3.3 = 8.3 cm
