Question

The lengths of the sides of a triangle are in the extended ratio 4 ​: 7 : 8. The perimeter of the triangle is 95 cm. What are the lengths of the​ sides?

Answer 1

If we break it down to 19 sections, each section would be 5 (4+7+8=19) (95/19=5) multiply each extended ratio by 5 and get:

4  :  7  :  8
20 : 35 : 40
