If EF = 117 , FG = 100, EG = 94, IJ = 40 , and HJ = 37.6 , find the perimeter of HIJ. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary. Figures are not necessarily drawn to scale.

124.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of ∆HIJ = IJ + HJ + HI

IJ = 40

HJ = 37.6

HI = ?

Let's find HI

∆HIJ and ∆EFG are similar. Since they have equal corresponding angles. Therefore, the ratio of their corresponding sides would be equal.

Thus:

EF/HI = FG/IJ

EF = 117 (given)

HI = ?

FG = 100 (given)

IJ = 40 (given)

Plug in the values

117/HI = 100/40

117/HI = 2.5

117 = HI*2.5

117/2.5 = HI

HI = 46.8

✔️Perimeter of ∆HIJ = IJ + HJ + HI

= 40 + 37.6 + 46.8

= 124.4
