Correct Answer: 500 cm
Solution : Given $\triangle$ABC ~ $\triangle$DEF, ⇒ $\frac{AB}{DE} = \frac{BC}{EF} = \frac{AC}{DF}$ ⇒ $\frac{BC}{EF} = \frac{AC}{DF}$ ⇒ $\frac{48}{200} = \frac{120}{DF}$ ⇒ $DF = \frac{200 \times 120}{48}$ ⇒ $DF = 500$ cm So, the length of the longest side of triangle DEF is 500 cm. Hence, the correct answer is 500 cm.

Question : $\triangle ABC \sim \triangle DEF$ such that AB = 9.1 cm and DE = 6.5 cm. If the perimeter of $\triangle DEF = 25$ cm, then the perimeter of $\triangle ABC$ is:
Question : $\triangle ABC \sim \triangle DEF$ and the perimeters of $\triangle ABC$ and $\triangle DEF$ are 40 cm and 12 cm respectively. If DE = 6 cm then AB is:
Question : $\triangle$ABC is similar to $\triangle$DEF. If the area of $\triangle$ABC is 9 sq. cm and the area of $\triangle$DEF is 16 sq. cm and BC = 2.1 cm, then the length of EF will be:
Question : In a triangle ${ABC}, {AB}={AC}$ and the perimeter of $\triangle {ABC}$ is $8(2+\sqrt{2}) $ cm. If the length of ${BC}$ is $\sqrt{2}$ times the length of ${AB}$, then find the area of $\triangle {ABC}$.
Question : If the measures of the angles of a triangle are in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3, and if the length of the smallest side of the triangle is 10 cm, then the length of the longest side is:
