Answer:

Length of the shortest side is:

30 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides of a triangle are in the ratio 6:8:10.

Let sides be 6x,8x and 10x

Perimeter=120 cm

⇒ 6x+8x+10x=120

⇒ 24x=120

⇒ x=5

Hence, sides are:

6×5=30 cm

8×5=40 cm

and 10×5=50 cm

Hence, length of the shortest side is:

30 cm
