One side of the triangle is 24 cm. The second is 4 times shorter than the first, and the third is 16 cm

One side of the triangle is 24 cm. The second is 4 times shorter than the first, and the third is 16 cm longer than the second. Calculate the perimeter of a triangle

The perimeter of a triangle can be calculated using the formula:

P = a + b + c, where a is the first side of the triangle (a = 24 cm), b is the second side of the triangle, c is the third side of the triangle.

The second side is 4 times shorter than the first: b = 1/4 a = 24/4 = 6 cm.

The third side is 16 cm longer than the second: c = b + 16 = 6 + 16 = 22 cm.

Let’s calculate the perimeter of the triangle:

P = a + b + c = 24 + 6 + 22 = 52 cm.

Answer: The perimeter of the triangle is 52 cm.
