Question

5. Three sides of a triangle have sides of length 6 inches, 8 inches, and 10 inches. One way to write the ratio of the sides of the triangle is 6:8:10. This ratio can be simplified to 3:4:5. a. How was the ratio simplified from 6:8:10 to 3:4:S? b. Another triangle also has side lengths in a ratio of 3: 4:5. The largest side of the triangle is 30 inches. What is the perimeter of the triangle?​

Answer 1

For part A, it was simplified by dividing by two.

For part B if the largest angle is 5 and it was changed to 30 that means that it was multiplied by 6. If so then that means u have to multiply everything

3=18

4=24

5=30

Finally u just add them up and get 72
