The sides of a triangle are in the ratio 3:4:5. What is the length of each side if the perimeter of the triangle is 30 cm?
---------------------------------------
Equation:
3x + 4x+5x = 30 cm
12x = 30
x = 5/2
-------------------
3x = 3*(5/2) = 15/2
4x = 4*5/2 = 10
5x = 5*(5/2) = 25/2
--------------------------------------
