Answer:
Given,
The perimeter of the triangle is 36 cm
Let,
The sides of triangle be 3x, 4x and 5x.
We know that,
The perimeter of a triangle = sum of all sides
So, perimeter of the triangle = 3x + 4x + 5x
or, 36 = 12x
or, 12x = 36
or, x = 36/12
or, x = 3
So, the sides of the triangle are:(i) 3x cm
= 3 × 3 cm
= 9 cm
(ii) 4x cm
= 4 × 3 cm
= 12 cm
(iii) 5x cm
= 5 × 3 cm
= 15 cm
