Question

The perimeter of a triangle whose side are in ratio 2:3:4 is 18 cm.construct the triangle​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let side 1= 2x, side 2= 3x, side 3= 4x

Perimeter = 18 cm

2x+3x+4x = 18

9x = 18

x= 18/9

x = 2

Side1= 2x= 2*2=4 cm

Side2=3*2=6

Side 3= 4*2=8

Then take scale and pencil draw 8 CM, use compass to construct 6 cmand 4 cm respectively from the end points of line 8cm.join other two lines to make it a triangle
