the sides of a rectangle are the ratio 2:5. (for every 2cm of the width, the length is 5cm) the perimeter of the rectangle is 70
cm. what is the with of thr rectangle?
1 answer:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ratio
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Width : Length
2 : 5
Let x be the scale factor
Width : Length
2x : 5x
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form equation and solve x
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)
70 = 2(5x + 2x)
70 = 2(7x)
70 = 14x
14x = 70
x = 5
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find Length and Width
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Length = 5x
Length = 5(5)
Length = 25
Width = 2x
Width = 2(5)
Width = 10
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Length = 25 cm, Width = 10 cm

The answer is -20 and you solve by putting it in the calculator
IN A triangle, sum of all angles = 180 degrees
2x + 3 + 4x+2 + 2x -1 = 180
8x +4 = 180
8x = 176
x = 176 /8 = 22 degrees
the angles are A = 2(22)+3 = 44+3 = 47 DEGREES
B = 4(22)+2 = 88 + 2 = 90 DEGREES
C = 2(22) -1 44-1 = 43 DEGREES
A will be 7 x 5
B will be 10x10
C=2pi(diameter)
C=2pi(14)
C=28pi
