The ratio of the measures of the sides of a triangle is 2:8:9. If the perimeter of the triangle is 76 inches, find the length of each side. |

Answer» Answer: To solve this add the total of all the NUMBERS of the ratio. 4 + 6 + 9 = 19.
TAKE that total and DIVIDE the perimeter by it: 190 / 19 = 10.
So each of those ratios need to be multiplied by 10.
FINAL answers: 40 : 60 : 90. They have a ratio of 4:6:9 and add up to 190.
