Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 28 cm.
| Understanding/Application |
|
Ratio of 3 sides of a triangle = 4 : 3 : 2 Let the common ratio be x. Perimeter of triangle = Sum of all sides = 63 cm |
|
4x + 3x + 2x = 63 9x = 63 x = 7 cm Longest side of a triangle = 4x = 4(7) = 28 cm |
