Answer 1

Side known in ratio as 8: 32

Side known in ratio as 9: 36

Side known in ration as 10: 40

Explanation:

We can add all the numbers in the ration to form the sum of all the sides, or also equal to perimeter. 8+9+10 equals 27.

So we can write 27x=108

x=4. Multiply 4 to 8, then 9, then 10. You get 32, 36, 40

Hope this helps!
