Question

the side of a triangle are in the ratio 5:2:3 and it's perimeter 60cm. Find the length of its smallest side.​

Answer 1

Answer:

smallest side is 12cm

SOLUTION :-

Perimeter of a Triangle is sum of all sides.

so, we can take ratios as 5x+2x+3x

then 5x+2x+3x=60 cm

10x = 60

x = 6cm

Angles are 5x = 5*6=30 cm , 2*6=12 cm,3*6=18 cm

so smallest angle is 12 cm
