To solve this add the total of all the numbers of the ratio. 6 + 5 + 4 = 15
Take that total and divide the perimeter by it.
90 ÷ 15 = 6
So each of those ratios need to be multiplied by 6, to get the measure of each side.
Length of the sides =
6 x 6 = 36cm
5 x 6 = 30cm
4 x 6 = 24cm
The length of the shortest side is 24cm.
