The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use the properties of similar triangles. Since triangles ABC and PQR are similar, their corresponding sides are in proportion. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the given information:** - Perimeter of triangle ABC = 32 cm - Perimeter of triangle PQR = 48 cm - Length of side PR = 6 cm 2. **Set up the ratio of the perimeters:** Since the triangles are similar, the ratio of their perimeters is equal to the ratio of their corresponding sides. Therefore, we can set up the following proportion: \[ \frac{\text{Perimeter of } ABC}{\text{Perimeter of } PQR} = \frac{32}{48} \] 3. **Simplify the ratio:** \[ \frac{32}{48} = \frac{2}{3} \] This means that the ratio of any corresponding sides of triangles ABC and PQR is also \( \frac{2}{3} \). 4. **Set up the proportion for the sides:** Let AC be the corresponding side to PR in triangle ABC. We can write: \[ \frac{AC}{PR} = \frac{2}{3} \] Substituting the known value of PR: \[ \frac{AC}{6} = \frac{2}{3} \] 5. **Cross-multiply to solve for AC:** \[ 3 \cdot AC = 2 \cdot 6 \] \[ 3 \cdot AC = 12 \] 6. **Divide both sides by 3:** \[ AC = \frac{12}{3} = 4 \text{ cm} \] ### Final Answer: The length of AC is **4 cm**.
