Question 310356
You are given an extended ratio that compares the lengths of the sides of the triangle. 
find the lengths of all unknown sides.
DE:EF:DF is 4:5:6 DE=16 EF=y DF=y+4
:
We can do it this way
:
let x = the multiplier
then the three sides will be 4x, 5x, 6x
using side 1, DE, find x
4x = 16
x = {{{16/4}}}
x = 4 is the multiplier
:
Side 2: 4(5) = 20 (EF)
side 3: 4(6) = 24 (DF)
:
We don't are care what y is, but you can find it if desired:
:
EF: y=20
DF: y + 4 = 24
