The sides of a scalene triangle are in the ratio 3:1:4. If the perimeter of the triangle is 56cm, find the dimension of the three sides |

Answer» Answer: 24CM Step-by-step EXPLANATION: Let the ratios be 1/3x, 1/4 x and 1/5x. We know, Perimeter of a triangle = a+b+c => 94 = 1/3x+1/4x+1/5x => 94 = x/3 + x/4 + x/5 => 94 = 20x+15x+12x/60 [TAKING the LCM of 3, 4 and 5 as 60] => 94 = 47x/60 => 47x = 94*60 => 47x = 5640 => x = 5640/47 => x = 120 Therefore, 1/3x = 1/3*120 = 40cm 1/4x = 1/4*120 = 30cm 1/5x = 1/5*120 = 24cm Hence, the length of the smallest side is 24cm.
