Question

The ratio of the measures of the sides of a triangle is

1:15:3. If the perimeter of the triangle is 152 yards,
find the length of the longest side.

Answer 1

The length is 120 yards

Explanation:

Here, we want to find the length of the longest side

The longest side ratio is 15

Add up all the ratio,

We have 1 + 15 + 3 = 19

So the length will be;

15/19 * 152

= 120 yards
