Options
- A7: 19: 25
- B19: 7: 25
- C12: 14: 20
- D19: 25: 20
Correct answer
A. 7: 19: 25
Step-by-step solution
Let the given ratio equal k , so b+c 11 = c+a 12 = a+b 13 = k . This gives the system of equations: b+c = 11k c+a = 12k a+b = 13k Adding these equations yields 2(a+b+c) = 36k , so a+b+c = 18k . Subtracting each original equation from this sum gives the side lengths: a = (a+b+c) - (b+c) = 18k - 11k = 7k b = 18k - 12k = 6k c = 18k - 13k = 5k Using the cosine rule A = b^2+c^2-a^2 2bc , and similarly for B and C , with substitution: A = (6k)^2+(5k)^2-(7k)^2 2(6k)(5k) = 36+25-49 60 = 12 60 = 1 5 B = (7k)^2+(5k)^2-(6k)^2
