Question

The sides of a triangle are in the ratio 1/2 : 1/3 : 1/4 and its perimeter is 104 cm. The length of the longest side (in cm) is

A) 52 B) 48 C) 32 D) 26

Answer 1

Answer:

B) 48

Step-by-step explanation:

let the sides be x/2 , x/3, x/4

perimeter = sum of all sides

104 = x/2 + x/3 + x/4

104 = 13x/12

x = (104 × 12)/13

x = 96

so sides are 48, 32, 24

longest side is 48cm
