Question

The ratio of the lengths of the sides of a triangle is 2:4:5. The largest side is 33" longer than the small side. What is the perimeter? I don't know how to start it help please
bobpursley
let the sides be 2x, 4x, 5x
so then Perimeter=11x
and 5x-33=2x
solve for x, then go back and calculate 2x, 4x, and 5x, then add them to get the perimeter.

Easy as apple pie.
