Question:

The lengths of the three sides of a triangle are in the ratio of 2 : 2 : 3. If the perimeter of the triangle is 42 cm, then what is the length of the largest side?

Options:

12 cm

18 cm

20 cm

15 cm

Correct Answer:

18 cm

Explanation:

Let the sides be 2a, 2a, and 3a

2a + 2a + 3a = 42

= 7a = 42

= a = 6

So, the length of the largest side = 6 × 3 = 18 cm
