Question

the perimeter of a triangle is 90 cm and the lenghts of its sides are in the ratio 6:5:4. find the length of the shortest sides

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let common multiple be x

Therefore the sides are 6x,5x,4x

Acc. To the given condition

Perimeter = 90

Thus,

6x+5x+4x=90

15x=90

x=90/15

x=4

Thus the smallest side is

4x=4 × 4=16

Thus the length of the shortest side is

16 cm
