The given ratio of the sides of the triangles is 4:10:7. Let the sides be 4x, 10x and 7x .

And given perimeter is 252 meters .

Perimeter is the sum of all sides. So we get

[tex] 4x+10x+7x=252
\\
21x = 252 [/tex]

Dividing both sides by 21

[tex] x = 12 [/tex]

So the sides are

[tex] 4*12=48 meters
\\
10*12=120 meters
\\
7*12= 84 meters [/tex]
