construct a triangle ABC whose perimeter is 14cm and sides are in the ratio of 2:3:4 .
Perimeter = 14cm
Let the 3 sides of the Triangle be 2x, 3x and 4x
14 = 2x + 3x + 4x
14 = 9x
x = 14 / 9
Therfore, x = 1.5cm
2(1.5) = 3.0cm
3(1.5) = 4.5cm
4(1.5) = 6.0cm
Now you have the length of the sides:
AB = 3.0cm
BC = 4.5cm
CA = 6.0cm
