Question stem:- What is the perimeter of triangle ABC?
measure of three sides is required in order to determine perimeter of a triangle.
St1:- The shortest side of the triangle is 5.
Other two sides may take numerous measures.
So, perimeter of the triangle is not unique.
Insufficient.
St2:- The ratio of the measure of the angles in triangle ABC is 1:2:3
Or, ABC is a right angled triangle. (It could be 30-60-90)
But we require length of sides.
Insufficient.
Combining, We have sides in the ratio \(x:2:\sqrt{3}x\), where 'x' is the length of shortest side.
So sides of the triangle are: 5,10, and \(5\sqrt{3}\)
So, perimeter can be determined.
Sufficient.
Ans.(C)
Edit:- 30-60-90

Statement 1: Shortest side is 5 but we don't don't other 2 sides. NOT sufficient.
Statement 2 : Ratio is given, not the exact value. NOT Sufficient.
Combining both Statements :
1x = 5
x = 5
2x = 10
3x = 15.
The perimeter = 5 + 10 + 15 = 30.
The best answer is C.
