The ratio of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 3:2:1. Given that the shortest side of the triangle is 12 meters long, what is the number of meters in the longest side of the triangle?
12 corresponds to the '1' side so
12 is to 1 as x is to 3
12/1 = x/3 SImple ratio multiply both sides by 3
36 meters = x = longest side
