Question

The sides of a triangle are in the ratio 5 : 12 : 13. What is the length of each side of the triangle if the perimeter of the triangle is 15 inches?

Answer 1

Answer:

2.5, 6 and 6.5 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

5 + 12 + 13 = 30

So the shortest side = 5/30 * 15 = 1/6 * 15

= 2.5 inches.

The longest = 13 / 30 * 15 =  13/2

= 6.5 inches,

and the third = 12/30 * 15

= 6 inches.
