Question

the sides of a triangle are 3 whole 1 by 6 cm 4 whole 2 by 3 cm and 5 whole 2 by 3 cm. Find the total length of the three sides of the triangle​

Answer 1

`16(2)/(3)`cm

Explanation:

Given dimensions:

`3(1)/(6)` cm by
`4(2)/(3)`cm by
`5(2)/(3)` cm

The total length:

it is the sum of all the sides;

`(19)/(6) + (14)/(3) + (17)/(3)`

LCM of the denominators = 6 ;

`(38 + 28 + 34)/(6)` =
`(100)/(6)`

=
`(50)/(3)`

=
`16(2)/(3)`cm
