Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

scale factor = [tex]\frac{PQ}{XY}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{6}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

That is the sides of Δ PQR are half those of Δ XYZ, thus

The perimeter of Δ PQR is half Δ XYZ, that is

perimeter of Δ PQR = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 20 = 10
