The ratio of the perimeters of similar triangles equals the ratio of corresponding sides, that is 30 : 45 = 2 : 3. So the side is 8 × 3 ÷ 2 = 12 cm.

Similarity
The areas of two similar triangles are 81 cm2 and 49 cm2. If a side of the larger triangle is 27 cm, find the corresponding side of the smaller.
Similarity
Assertion: all squares are similar to one another. Reason: in any two squares the corresponding angles are equal and the corresponding sides are proportional. State whether both are true and whether the reason explains the assertion.
