Answer 2

Sides on the drawing are:

4, 5 and 6 inches

Explanation:

A triangle with sides 40 feet, 50 feet, and 60 feet.

On a drawing, 1 inch = 10 feet

or 10 feet= 1 inch

4×10 feet=4×1 inch

i.e. 40 feet=4 inches

5×10 feet=5×1 inch

i.e. 50 feet=5 inches

6×10 feet=6×1 inch

i.e. 60 feet=6 inches

Hence, sides on the drawing are:

4, 5 and 6 inches
