Question

The ratio of the sides of a triangle is 2:5:3. If the perimeter of the triangle is 190 meters, what is the length of the longest side

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

Let x by the multiplying factor to make up 190 m.

2x + 5x + 3x = 190

10x = 190

x = 190/10

x = 19

The longest side is 5x

The longest side = 5 * 19 = 95
