Answer:
The perimeter is 27 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The sides have ratios 2:3:4
I can say the sides are:
+2x+
+3x+
+4x+
and you are given that +2x+=+6+ cm
+2x+=+6+
+x+=+3+
So, the sides are:
+2x+=+6+
+3x+=+9+
+4x+=+12+
and
+2x+%2B+3x+%2B+4x+=+6+%2B+9+%2B+12+
+2x+%2B+3x+%2B+4x+=+27+
The perimeter is 27 cm

Answer:
27 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Ratio of sides of triangle = 2 : 3 : 4
Shortest side = 6 cm
Let, the sides be 2x, 3x and 4x
So, the shortest side is 2x
==> 2x = 6
==> x = 3
So, the sides are 2x = 6
3x = 9
4x = 12
Perimeter of a triangle = sum of all the sides
= 6 + 9 + 12
= 27 cm
