△GHI is similar to △KLM. If the ratio of Perimeter of △GHI:Perimeter of △KLM=9:4 and the length of GH is 27cm, what is the length of the corresponding side KL?

  1. A
    12cm
  2. B
    9cm
  3. C
    24cm
  4. D
    18cm

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

For similar triangles, the ratio of their perimeters is equal to the ratio of their corresponding sides:
Perimeter of △KLM
Perimeter of △GHI

=
KL
GH


Given that the ratio of perimeters is 9:4 and GH=27cm:

4
9

=
KL
27


9×KL=27×4
KL=
9
27×4


KL=3×4=12cm
