Question

The perimeter of a triangle with sides in the ratio 5:7:8 is 308 m. What is the maximum difference between the lengths of two sides of the triangle? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

46.2

Step-by-step explanation:

ratio 5:7:8

5x + 7x + 8x = 308

20 x = 308

x = 15.4

sides = 77, 107.8, 123.2

difference = 123.2 - 77 = 46.2
