*The side with the middle length is 12cm, therefore BC must be 12 cm

------------------------------------------------------------<span>
Ratio 
------------------------</span>---------------------------------<span>--
BC:AC:AB
  4 : 3 : 5

</span>-----------------------------------------------------------
<span>Find 1 share
</span>-----------------------------------------------------------<span>
Given that BC = 12 cm
4 shares = 12 cm
1 share = 12 ÷ 4 = 3cm

</span>-----------------------------------------------------------
Find AC (4 shares)
-----------------------------------------------------------<span>
3 shares = 3 x 3 = 9 cm
BC = 9cm

</span>-----------------------------------------------------------
<span>Find AB (5 shares)
</span>-----------------------------------------------------------<span>
5 shares = 5 x 3 = 15cm
AB = 15cm

</span>------------------------------------------------------------
Length
-----------------------------------------------------------
   BC   :  AC   :  AB
12cm  :  9cm : 15cm<span>

---------------------------------</span>---------------------------------<span>
Perimeter
</span>------------------------------------------------------------------
<span>12 + 9 + 15 = 36cm

</span>------------------------------------------------------------------
<span>Answer: The perimeter is 36cm
</span>------------------------------------------------------------------<span>

</span>------------------------------------------------------------------
<span>Area
</span>------------------------------------------------------------------
1/2 x 9 x 12 = 54cm²<span>

</span>------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Area = 54cm²
------------------------------------------------------------------<span>

Given that the biggest ratio is AB
</span>⇒AB is the hypotenuse
AB = 15 cm

------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Hypotenuse = AB = 15cm

Find the sum. then use commutative property of addition to write the related sentence
adelina 88 [10]
Addition is defined as one of the main basic operation of mathematics. Addition is also defined as the process of adding one of more numbers. For the addition operation, there are many number of properties used. In that, one of the property is known as the commutative property of addition. It states that the change of order does not change the value of addition. Commutative property of addition is true for all types of numbers including imaginary numbers. So you can pretty much use any numbers ex.2 + 3 = 3 + 2
