Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 136 ft. The ratio of its length to its width is 9 : 8. What are the dimensions of the rectangle? 40 ft by 28 ft 44 ft by 24 ft 48 ft by 20 ft 36 ft by 32 ft

Answer 1

9: 8 = 9+8 = 17

136/17 = 8

8 * 9 = 72 / 2 = 36

8*8 = 64 / 2 = 32

32 +32 + 36 + 36 = 136

 the rectangle is 36 x 32
