Question

The sides of triangle are in the ratio 6:8:10. If the perimeter of the triangle is 288cm find the i)shortest side ​

Answer 1

Answer:

72 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the sides are 6a, 8a and 10a.

Here,

     Perimeter of the triangle is 288 cm

This means : sum of lengths of all sides = 288 cm.

⇒ 6a + 8a + 10a = 288 cm

⇒ 24a = 288 cm

⇒ a = 288 / 24 cm

⇒ a = 12 cm

The shortest side is 6a( by observation ).

Length of the shortest side is 6a = 6( 12 cm ) = 72 cm

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Aloha !

Let a be some integer,

Now, given ratio 6:8:10

So, 6a:8a:10a

Sum of them =288

6a+8a+10a=288

24a=288

a=288/24

a= 12 cm

6a=6(12)=72cm is the shortest distance

8(12)=96cm

10(12)=120cm
