Question

The perimeter of a triangle is 132 cm and the lengths of its side are in the ratio 8:11:14 find the length of each side

Answer 1

8x+11x+14x=132
33x=132
x=132/33
x=4
Now,
8x=8 times 4
= 32cm
11x= 11 times 4
= 44cm
14x=14 times 4
= 56cm
Therefore, the length of each side are 32cm, 44cm and 56cm
