You can put this solution on YOUR website! a triangle with a perimeter of 66 inches has one side that is 16 inches long. the lengths of the other two sides have a ratio 2:3. what is the length, in inches, of the longest side of the triangle.
----------------------
The unknown sides are 2x and 3x.
Equation:
2x + 3x + 16 = 66
5x = 50
x = 10
----------------
side = 2x = 20
side = 3x = 30
side = 16
