I'll tell you where the problem lies - it is IMPOSSIBLE to form triangles like this.
If the perimeter of the smallest triangle is 6 and one side is 3, then the sum of the other two sides can only be 6 - 3 = 3
One property to enable you to form a triangle is that NO ONE SIDE can be greater or equal to the sum of the other two sides. In the smallest triangle 1 side of length 3 equals the other two sides.
In the middle triangle one side of length "4" equals the sum of the other two sides and
In the large triangle one side of length "5" equals the other two sides.
Therefore when I say "triangle" above I am not actually correct because it is IMPOSSIBLE to form triangles with those dimensions of 1 side and with those perimeters.

enable a, b, and c be the factors of the triangle, then Perimeter, P= a+b+c=ninety six If factors are interior the ratio 3:4:5, this would be a precise triangle the place 3 represents the ratio component of the backside, 4 is ratio component of the top and 5 is ratio component of the hypotenuse. the completed (or perimeter) represents the completed of the ratio, it extremely is P=3+4+5=12 in terms of ratio a=96x3/12=24 may be the backside or top b=96x4/12=32 may be the backside or top c=96x5/12=40 is the hypotenuse (the longest section) in spite of the reality that it extremely is problematic to differentiate which section is base or top, we are able to nevertheless get the section. section=base x top=24x32/2=768/2=384

Maybe you should post your question in the Science & Mathematics category so someone will be able to answer it for you.
A perimeter is the outside length of a side of any shape. They can't have different measurements in length.
