Answer:

The length of each sides are 11 feet, 16.5 feet, 27.5 feet.

Explanation:

The ratio of the sides of a triangle are 2:3:5.

The sides of the triangle = 2x, 3x, 5x

The perimeter of the triangle = 55 feet.

2x + 3x + 5x = 55

10x = 55

x = 55/10 = 5.5

Length of each side : 2x = 2*5.5 = 11 feet

3x = 3*5.5 = 16.5 feet

5x = 5 * 5.5 = 27.5 feet
