Explanation:

The lengths of the sides of a triangle are in the extended ratio 5: 8.9. The perimeter of the triangle is 44 cm.

Sum of proportion = 5 + 8 + 9

= 22

Length of side a

5/22 × 44 = 10 cm

Length of side b

8/22 × 44 = 16 cm

Length of side a

9/22 × 44 = 18 cm

The lengths of the sides of the triangle in cm are 10cm, 16 cm, 18 cm,
