Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

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 = 24

  ⇒   x = 24/12

  ⇒     x = 2

Therefore,

          First side = 3x = 3 × 2 = 6 cm

           Second side = 4x = 4 × 2 = 8 cm

           Third side = 5x = 5 × 2 = 10 cm
