The ratio of the measures of the sides of a triangle is 2:4:8. If the perimieter is 42 inches, find the length
of each side.

Answer

Let the sides of triangles are 3x,4x and 5x.

And perimeter of the triangle is 144cm.

So , 3x+4x+5x=144

12x=144

x=12

so, the sides are triangle are 3(12)=36cm, 4(12)=48cm , 5(12)=60cm

so , the longest side is 60 cm.

Area of triangle =

s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)

here , s=72 and a=36, b=48 c=60

=

72(72−36)(72−48)(72−60)

=

72(36)(24)(12)

=

746496

= 864

So, the area of triangle is 864 cm

2

and the height corresponding to longest side h=

60

2×864

=28.8cm

d. millimeters per hour.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given that,

carlo used a rain gauge to measure the amount of water his lawn is receiving from the sprinklers.

since, according to the options, we see that,

water cannot be measured by 'miles per hour', 'meters per second' and 'grams per seconds'.

we get that, the water can be measured by 'millimeters per hour'.

hence, the appropriate rate for describing the amount of water is 'millimeters per hour'.
