Question

Three numbers are in the ratio 5 :3 : 2. If the sum of their squares is 5472, find the three numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

60  36   24

Step-by-step explanation:

5             3            2

25x +9x + 4x =   5472

38x  = 5472

x =  144

25(144) = 3,600         9(144) = 1,296           4(144) = 576

  60²  = 3,600                   36²= 1,296               24² = 576

3,600 + 1,296+576 =  5,472
