OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does anybody know how to solve the problem. I have no idea.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@helpme1.2, can you help me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm guessing 192. I have no reason for that answer, other than it's the biggest.

OpenStudy (lucaz):

yeah, I think it's 192, because we know the ratio 3:10:12, the largest side is 4 times the smaller

OpenStudy (lucaz):

3:12

OpenStudy (lucaz):

if we divide 192 by 4 we get 48

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK, I get it. Thanks for your help.

OpenStudy (lucaz):

I just don't know the correct way to solve it, but if we pick any other value for the largest side it would not work for the perimeter of 400

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have one more question, but I'll post it separately.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And thanks again.

OpenStudy (lucaz):

no problem..
