The sides of a triangle are in the ratio 3 : 4 : 5. What is the length of each side if the perimeter of the triangle is 90 cm

svet-max [94.6K]

The sides of the triangle are 3x, 4x and 5x

3x + 4x + 5x = 90
12x = 90
x = 90/12
x = 7.5

first side = 3x = 3 * 7.5 = 22.5 cm
second side = 4x = 4 * 7.5 = 30 cm
third side = 5x = 5*7.5 = 37.5 cm
