if the sides of a triangle are represented by 2x, 3x, and 4x, and the perimeter of the triangle is 27 feet, what is the longest side of the triangle.
Perimeter is all the sides added together.
sides 2x, 3x, 4x
2x + 3x + 4x = 9x
9x = 27
x = 3
4x is largest number --> 4 * 3 = 12 --> 12 is longest side
