Question

A triangle with a perimeter of 63 feet has side lengths in the extended ratio of 6:7:8

Answer 1

let the sides be 6x,7x and 8x
given 6x+7x+8x =63 and so on..

Answer 2

hence we have 21x =63
or x=3

Answer 3

So, Tkhan, what are the lengths of the 3 sides of this triangle?

Answer 4

now plug the values of x in 6x and 7x and 8x to get the length of each side

Answer 5

@matricked: Thank you for your contributions. However, keep in mind that our objective is to help Tkhan find his own answers. My question was for $tkhan, not for you, because of this.

Answer 6

Tkahn: Please think about how you could obtain the lengths of the three sides of this triangle. Note that because the perimeter is 63 feet, the SUM of these three lengths is also 63 inches.
