The ratio of the measures of the sides of a triangle is 9:7:3 if the perimeter of the triangle is 266 inches, find the length of the shortest side

Hey there,

Answer:
9 : 7 : 3
Total units = 19 units
19 u = 266 inches
1 u = 266 / 19
      = 14 inches
Shortest side = 3 u
3 u = 14 x 3 
      = 42 inches

Hope this helps :D
