Question

The ratio of the measures of the sides of a triangle is 9:7:3. If the perimeter of the triangle is 266 inches, find the length of the shortest side.

Answer 1

Answer:

42 inch.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let it be 9x, 7x, 3x,

Then,

9x+7x+3x = 266

19x =266

x= 266/19

x=14

Now,

9x = 9 x 14 =126

7x = 7 x 14 =98

3x = 3 x 14 =42.

Hence,42 is the shortest side.
