PLZZ answer in easy way of linear equations

Answer 1

Answer:

20 cm, 48 cm, 52 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular sides are in the ratio 5 : 12.

Let two perpendicular sides be 5x and 12x.

So, hypotenuse = √(5x)^2+(12x)^2

=> 13x

Now it is given that perimeter = 120 cm.

=> 13x + 5x + 12x = 120

=> 3x = 120

=> x = 4

Sides are,

5x = 20 cm

12x = 48 cm

13x = 52 cm

Length of its sides are 20 cm, 48 cm, 52 cm.
