The perimeter of a triangle is 36 cm if its sides are in the ratio of 1:3:2 find the all sides of the triangle
Question Id: MA 0000002 Question : The perimeter of a triangle is 36 cm if its sides are in the ratio of 1:3:2 find the all sides of the triangle ? Answer : \(6cm\), \(18cm\) and \(12cm\) Explanation : Ratio of sides of triangle is given 1:3:2 Let, sides are \(x\), \(3x\) and \(2x\) Then perimeter will be, \(x+2x+3x=6x\) According to question perimeter is given 36cm. So \(6x=36\) \[\Rightarrow x=\frac{36}{6}\] \[\Rightarrow x=6\] So, now \(x=6\), \(3x=18\) and \(2x=12\) Hence, sides of the triangle are 6cm, 18cm and 12cm. (Answer)
