Answer:
Length of shortest side = 12 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is the sum of sides of a polygon.
Here the sides of the triangle are 2x, 3x, and 5x.
Perimeter = 2x + 3x + 5x = 10x
The perimeter of a triangle is 60 inches.
That is 10x = 60
x = 6 inches
Length of shortest side = 2x = 2 x 6 = 12 inches.
Length of shortest side = 12 inches
