Answer:

120 cm, 160 cm, 80 cm, 360 cm

Explanation:

The ratio 3:4:2:9 is the same as the ratio 3x:4x:2x:9x

We add all the terms of the second ratio:

3x + 4x + 2x + 9x = 18x

18x = 720

x = 40

3x = 3(40) = 120

4x = 4(40) = 160

2x = 2(40) = 80

9x = 9(40) = 360

Answer: 120 cm, 160 cm, 80 cm, 360 cm
