The length of the shorter rope is 20 cm.

<h3>How to find the original length of the rope using ratio?</h3>

He cut a rope into two pieces with lengths having a ratio of 5 to 2.

The shorter piece is 70 cm long.

The length of the original rope can be calculated as follows:

The ratio of the length of the rope is as follows;

5 : 2

let

x = length of the original rope

Therefore,

length of shorter piece = 2 / 7 × 70

length of shorter piece = 2 / 7 × 70

length of shorter piece =  140 / 7

length of shorter piece = 20 cm

Therefore, the length of the shorter rope is 20 cm.

A rectangle's length is three times its width. Let w denote the rectangle's width. What polynomial represents the rectangle's ar
Ket [755]
<span>A = l x w
Since 
l = 3w

Substitute the l with 3w
The formula will be

A = 3w + w
A = 4w

An example:
The given known values are: Length of 4 cm Width is unknown Perimeter is 34 cm Find the dimensions of the rectangle.   Since the geometric formula for perimeter is: </span>
P= 2 (l + w) 
L = 2w – 4 cm 
W =?   
Derivation and solution: 
34 = 2 (2w - 4) + 2w <span>
34 =  4w – 8 + 2w</span> 
42 = 6w 42/6 = w 
W = 7 cm   

34 = 2l + 2(7) 
34 = 2l + 14 
2l = 34 – 14 
2l = 20 
L = 20/2 
L = 10 cm<span> <span>
