Example Question #1 : Acute / Obtuse Triangles

Two similiar triangles have a ratio of perimeters of 7:2.

If the smaller triangle has sides of 3, 7, and 5, what is the perimeter of the larger triangle.

Possible Answers:

49.5

50.5

51.5

52.5

48.5

Correct answer:

52.5

Explanation:

Adding the sides gives a perimeter of 15 for the smaller triangle. Multipying by the given ratio of \frac{7}{2}, yields 52.5.

Example Question #131 : Triangles

Two sides of an isosceles triangle are 20 and 30. What is the difference of the largest and the smallest possible perimeters?

Possible Answers:

15

The answer cannot be determined

30

0

10

Correct answer:

10

Explanation:

The trick here is that we don't know which is the repeated side. Our possible triangles are therefore 20 + 20 + 30 = 70 or 30 + 30 + 20 = 80.  The difference is therefore 80 – 70 or 10.
