the perimeter of a angle is 40 inches the ratio of lengths is 3:4:6: find the shortest side lengths
If your questions mean:

The perimeter of a triangle is 40 inches the ratio of lengths is 3:4:6: find the shortest side lengths.

then:

You make the sides of the triangle 3 x, 4 x, and 6 x, where x is the scaling factor that will bring the total up to 40 in.

Perimeter:

P = 3 x + 4 x + 6 x

40 = 13 x

Divide both sides by 13

40 / 13 = x

x = 40 / 13

Your shortest side is the 3 x, so its length = 3 ∙ 40 / 13 = 120 / 13 in

Approx. 3 x = 9.23 in
