Question

a tree of height 4.5m broken into three pieces in the ratio 2:3:4.find the length of each pieces.​

Answer 1

Answer:

let one piece = 2x

second piece = 3x

third piece = 4x

according to the question (A.T.Q)

2x + 3x + 4x = 4.5m

9x = 4.5 m

x = 4.5/9

x= 0.5

so

one piece=2x=2×0.5= 1m

second piece = 3x = 3×0.5= 1.5m

third piece = 4x = 4 × 0.5 = 2m

verification

1m + 1.5m + 2m= 4.5m

also

1m:1.5m:2m = 2:3:4

hence verified
