Explanation:

Step1: Find the scale factor

The longest side of \( \triangle ABC \) is 24 units, and the longest side of \( \triangle XYZ \) is 60 units. The scale factor \( k \) is \( \frac{60}{24}=\frac{5}{2} \).

Step2: Calculate the perimeter of \( \triangle ABC \)

The perimeter of \( \triangle ABC \) is \( 10 + 20 + 24 = 54 \) units.

Step3: Find the perimeter of \( \triangle XYZ \)

Since the perimeters of similar triangles are in the same ratio as their corresponding sides, the perimeter of \( \triangle XYZ \) is \( 54\times\frac{5}{2}=135 \) units? Wait, no, wait. Wait, let's recalculate. Wait, \( 54\times\frac{5}{2} = 135 \)? Wait, no, \( 54\times2.5 = 135 \)? Wait, but the options have 108, 110, 135, 270. Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, the longest side of \( \triangle ABC \) is 24, \( \triangle XYZ \) is 60. So scale factor is \( 60/24 = 2.5 \). Perimeter of \( \triangle ABC \) is \( 10 + 20 + 24 = 54 \). Then perimeter of \( \triangle XYZ \) is \( 54\times2.5 = 135 \)? Wait, but let's check the area part. The height of \( \triangle ABC \) with respect to the longest side (24) is 8. So area of \( \triangle ABC \) is \( \frac{1}{2}\times24\times8 = 96 \) square units. Then area of \( \triangle XYZ \) is \( 96\times(2.5)^2 = 96\times6.25 = 600 \) square units, which matches the given 600. Now, perimeter: \( 54\times2.5 = 135 \)? Wait, but the drop - down has 108, 110, 135, 270. Wait, maybe I miscalculated the perimeter of \( \triangle ABC \). Wait, 10 + 20+24 = 54. Then scale factor is 60/24 = 2.5. So 542.5 = 135. But let's check again. Wait, maybe the scale factor is 60/24 = 2.5, so perimeter of XYZ is 542.5 = 135. But the first drop - down, the options are 108, 110, 135, 270. Wait, maybe I made a mistake in the perimeter of ABC. Wait, 10 + 20+24 = 54. Then 542.5 = 135. So the perimeter of XYZ is 135? But the user's current selection is 600 for area, which is correct. Wait, but the first drop - down, the question is "The perimeter of \( \triangle XYZ \) is [ ] units". Wait, maybe I messed up. Wait, let's recalculate the scale factor. Wait, 24 to 60: 60/24 = 5/2. Perimeter of ABC: 10 + 20+24 = 54. Perimeter of XYZ: 54(5/2)=135. So the perimeter should be 135, and the area is 600.

Answer:

The perimeter of \( \triangle XYZ \) is 135 units, and the area of \( \triangle XYZ \) is 600 square units. So for the perimeter drop - down, the correct answer is 135, and for the area, it's 600.
