Lengths of the sides are 12cm, 16cm and 20 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
The sides are in the ratio 3:4:5.
Let us take the three sides to be 3x,4x and 5x.
3x+4x+5x=48 (Sum of the sides of the triangle = perimeter of the triangle)
12x=48
x=4
Therefore,
First side = 3x = 3*4 = 12cm
Second side = 4x = 4*4 = 16cm
Third side = 5x = 5*4 = 20cm
hope it helps.
