Question

The three sides of a triangle are in the ratio 1:1.5:2. If the greatest side is 8 cm, find the other two sides.
​

Answer 1

Answer: 4 , 6 .

Step-by-step explanation: given that, the ratio of sides = 1:1.5:2 means it is equal to 2×1, 2×1.5 , 2×2 then we get 2:3:4 ratio.

And greatest side = 8cm.

So , side having the greatest ratio will be the biggest,

2x = 8 => x = 4

And other two sides are respectively

x = 4cm & 1.5x = 1.5 × 4 = 6cm

Answer 2

Answer:

4,6

Step-by-step explanation:

2x = 8

x=4

and other two sides are respectively

x = 4 and 1.5x

1.5 × 4 = 6

x = 6
