Question: The ratio of the lengths of two sides of a triangle is 3:4. If the perimeter of the triangle is 70 cm, what is the length of the longer side?
Options:
Correct Answer: 30
Solution:
Let the sides be 3x and 4x. Then, 3x + 4x + base = 70. Assuming base = 0, 7x = 70, x = 10. Longer side = 4x = 40.
