Step-by-step explanation:
You just find the L.C.M of the two numbers which is 12. So the correct answer is 12
Ok I will add u to if you can help me with my test
The simplified ratio would be 4 to 1! hope this helps :)
Answer:
1st side= 4m
2nd side= 8m
3rd side= 12m
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first, second and third side of the triangle be a, b and c meters respectively.
a= b -4 -----(1)
c= 3a -----(2)
Perimeter of triangle
= a +b +c
= 24
a +b +c= 24 -----(3)
From (1): b= a +4 -----(4)
Subst. (2) and (4) into (3):
a +(a +4) +3a= 24
3a +a +a +4= 24
5a +4= 24
5a= 24 -4
5a= 20
Divide both sides by 5:
a= 20 ÷5
a= 4
Substitute a= 4 into (4):
b= 4 +4
b= 8
Substitute a= 4 into (2):
c= 3(4)
c= 12
Thus, the lengths of the first, second, and third side of the triangle are 4m, 8m and 12m respectively.
