Answer 2

$\huge{\boxed{\mathcal\pink{\fcolorbox{red}{white}{Answer}}}}$

Let the side of the triangle be x

given: perimeter = 288 cm

according to question

6x + 8x + 10x = 288

24x =288

$x = \frac{288}{24} = 12$

${\bold{\large{\green{\boxed{x =12}}}}}$

so for the longest side.

$6x = 6 \times 12 = 72 \\ 8x = 8 \times 12 = 96 \\ 10x = 10 \times 12 = 120$

So the longest side of the triangle is 120
