The ratio of the measures of three triangles is 2: 5: 4, and its perimeter is 165 units. find the measure of each side of the triangle

30:75:60

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not sure if this is how you're supposed to solve it, but I'll give it my best shot.

1. Think of the 2:5:4 as "chunks". 2 Chunks:5 Chunks:4 Chunks. 2+5+4 is 11. We obviously have to use all of the 165 perimeter units, and we know the ratio already.

2. We need to take 165, and divide it by 11. This will give us what one "chunk" is. It equals 15.

3. Now that we know what one chunk is equal to, we can simply multiply.

2 Chunks * 15 Per Chunk = 30

5*15=75

4*15=60

So, our final answer is 30:75:60

Checking, 30+75+60=165, so we used the whole perimeter.

its adding 5.5 each time
