In the adjacent figure, find the ratio of the shortest side of the triangle to the longest side.

Open in App

Solution

The sides of the triangle are $12 c m, 13 c m$ and $5 c m$
We see that the shortest side is of length $5 c m$ and the longest side is of length $13$ cm.
Hence, the ratio of shortest side to the longest side is $5 : 13$ .
