The ratio between the lengths of 2 rectangles is the same between their perimeters

l_1\colon l_2=P_1\colon P_2

Since the ratio between the length of rectangle A and the length of rectangle B is 7: 3, then

The ratio between the perimeter of rectangle A to the perimeter of rectangle B is 7: 3 too

\begin{gathered} l_A\colon l_B=7\colon3 \\ P_A\colon P_B=7\colon3 \end{gathered}

Since the perimeter of rectangle A is 540, then

540\colon P_B=7\colon3

We will write them as a fraction

\frac{540}{P_B}=\frac{7}{3}

By using the cross multiplication

\begin{gathered} P_B\times7=540\times3 \\ 7P_B=1620 \end{gathered}

Divide both sides by 7

\begin{gathered} \frac{7P_B}{7}=\frac{1620}{7} \\ P_B=231.4285714 \end{gathered}

Round it to the nearest tenth

P_B=231.4\text{ inches}

The perimeter of the smaller rectangle B is 231.4 inches

A 96 inch stick breaks into two pieces in the ratio of 3:5. How big is each piece?
Svetlanka [38]
40 cm.

let the length of the first part be 3x, second part be 4x, third part be 5x.

where x is a positive length in cm.

why 3x,4x and 5x ?

so that the ratio of lengths of the 3 parts be 3:4:5.

total length of the stick = 3x + 4x + 5x = 12x=96cm

so x=96/12 = 8cm

therefore the largest part of the stick (5x)= 5*8 =40cm
