Solution

The question seems to be incomplete. However, if you're asking how to find the lengths of the other sides of the triangle, here's how you can do it:

Step 1: Identify the ratio of the longest side to the other sides. In this case, it's 7 (from the ratio 2:6:7).

Step 2: Divide the length of the longest side by its corresponding ratio. So, 24.5 cm ÷ 7 = 3.5 cm. This gives the value of each single ratio unit.

Step 3: Multiply this value by the ratios of the other sides to find their lengths. So, for the side with a ratio of 2, the length is 2 × 3.5 cm = 7 cm. For the side with a ratio of 6, the length is 6 × 3.5 cm = 21 cm.

So, the lengths of the sides of the triangle are 7 cm, 21 cm, and 24.5 cm.
