A wire 252 centimeters long will be bent into the shape of a right triangle whose sides are in the ratio of 3:4:5. How long is the hypotenuse of the triangle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3x + 4x + 5x = 252

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find x and then to find the hypotenuse find 5x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x = 21 so the hypotenuse is, 5(21) = 105 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct! do you know why that works?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, thanks. :) I'll post more problems. Haha. Help me again please?
