Question

Construct a triangle mnp, whose perimetre is 15cm and whose side are in the ratio 2:3:4

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the common multiple

Therefore the sides are 2x,3xand 4x

Sum of all side is => 2x + 3x+4x= 9x

But

Sum of all side=Perimeter

Therefore

9x =15

X =1.6

First side =2*1.6=3.2

Second side =3*1.6=4.8

Third side =4*1.6=6.4

Now you can construct the triangle with the given sides
