If the ratio of side lengths a:b:c in triangle ABC is 2:3:4, and the perimeter is 99, calculate each side length for triangle ABC~
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You are on the right track.
\n" ); document.write( "Actually you don't even care about the angles, you're give the sides and the perimeter, therefore.
\n" ); document.write( "let x = the multiplier
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "2x = side a
\n" ); document.write( "3x = side b
\n" ); document.write( "4x = side c
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 3x + 4x = 99
\n" ); document.write( "9x = 99
\n" ); document.write( "x = 99/9
\n" ); document.write( "x = 11 is the multiplier
\n" ); document.write( "find the sides
\n" ); document.write( "2(11) = 22 is side a
\n" ); document.write( "3(11) = 33 is side b
\n" ); document.write( "4(11) = 44 is side c
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
