Answer:

X=6

Step-by-step explanation:

It is under enlargement and reduction

Therefore we can equates sides because of the parallel lines

$\frac{12}{18} = \frac{4}{x}$

Cross multiply

$12x = 72$

dividing through by 12

$x = \frac{72}{12}$

simplify

$x = 6$

The ratio of length to width on a rectangle is

kvasek [131]

Answer:

$Let~the~length~of~rectangle~be~'l'~and~its~width~be~'b'.\\According ~to ~question,\\l:b=11:3\\or, \frac{l}{b} =\frac{11}{3} \\or, l = \frac{11b}{3}\\Also,\\Perimeter~of~the~rectangle=308\\or, 2(l+b)=308\\or, l+b=154\\or, \frac{11 b}{3}+b =154 \\or, \frac{11b+3b}{3} =154\\or, 14b = 154(3)\\or, b=33 units\\So, ~the~width~of~rectangle~is~33units.$

Alternative method:

$Let~the~length~and~width~of~the~rectangle~be~11x~and~3x.\\Given,\\Perimeter~of~the~rectangle = 308\\or, 2(11x+3x)=308\\or, 14x = 154\\or, x = 11\\Now,\\Width~of~the~rectangle,3x = 3(11)=33 units\\So,~the~width~of~the~rectangle~is~33units.$
