The sides of a triangle are in the ratio 3:5:7 and ita perimeter is 45 cm. wht are the lengths of the sides? About the author Brielle
ratio of sides = 3: 5 : 7 sum of sides = perimeter 3x +5x + 7x = 45 15 x = 45 x = 45 / 15 = 3 sides 3x = 3 × 3 = 9 cm 5 x = 5 × 3 = 15 cm 7x = 7 × 3 = 21 cm Reply
A+B+C = Perimeter LET THE RATIO BE X 3x+5x+7x = 45 15x = 45 x = 45/15 x = 3 Sides 1. 3x = 3×3 = 9 2. 5x = 5×3 = 15 3. 7x = 7× 3 = 21 Reply
ratio of sides = 3: 5 : 7
sum of sides = perimeter
3x +5x + 7x = 45
15 x = 45
x = 45 / 15
= 3
sides
3x = 3 × 3 = 9 cm
5 x = 5 × 3 = 15 cm
7x = 7 × 3 = 21 cm
A+B+C = Perimeter
LET THE RATIO BE X
3x+5x+7x = 45
15x = 45
x = 45/15
x = 3
Sides
1. 3x = 3×3 = 9
2. 5x = 5×3 = 15
3. 7x = 7× 3 = 21
