Question

The ratios of the measure of the sides of a triangle is 4:10:7. Find the length of each side of the perimeter of the triangle is 252 meters

Answer 1

The given ratio of the sides of the triangles is 4:10:7. Let the sides be 4x, 10x and 7x .

And given perimeter is 252 meters .

Perimeter is the sum of all sides. So we get

$4x+10x+7x=252 \\ 21x = 252$

Dividing both sides by 21

$x = 12$

So the sides are

$4*12=48 meters \\ 10*12=120 meters \\ 7*12= 84 meters$

Answer 2

First side: 48, second: 120, third: 84.
