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
