Question

The lengths of the sides of a triangle are in the extended ratio 8 : 9 : 10. The perimeter of the triangle is 108cm. What are the lengths of the sides?

Answer 1

32, 36, 40

Explanation:

8x + 9x + 10x = 108

27x = 108

x = 4

4 × 8 = 32 - 1st side

4 × 9 = 36 - 2nd side

4 × 10 = 40 - 3rd side
