Answer 1

Check answer in the given attachment

Answer 2

The perimeter of the triangle is 48 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sides of the triangle be, 2x, 3x and 7x.

The shortest side is 2x.

The value of shortest side is 8 cm.

Compute the value of x as follows:

$2x=8\\x=4$

Compute the lengths of the other two sides as follows:

$3x=3\times4=12\ cm\\7x=7\times 4=28 cm$

Compute the perimeter of the triangle as follows:

$Perimeter=Sum\ of\ sides=8+12+28=48$

Thus the perimeter of the triangle is 48 cm.
