<u>Answer:</u>

12.5 feet

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We know that the ratio of the length of a rectangle to its width it 8 to 5.

Given that the longer side of the rectangle is 20 feet, we are to find the length of its shorter side.

Assuming x to be the length of the shorter side, we can use the simple ratio method.

\frac{8}{5} =\frac{20}{x}

x=\frac{5}{8} *20

x=12.5

Therefore, the length of the shorter side is We know that the ratio of the longer side of a rectangle to its shorter side is 4 to 12.5 feet.

Answer: The answer is 12.5 ft.


Step-by-step explanation:  Given that there is a rectangle with ratio of its length to breadth 8 : 5. Also, the longer side of the rectangle is 20 feet. We are to find the length of the shorter side.

Let, '8x' and '5x' be the length and breadth of the rectangle respectively. Since length is the longer side, so we have

8x=20\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{20}{8}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=2.5.

Therefore, width, length of the shorter side will be

W=5x=5\times 2.5=12.5~\textup{ft.}

Thus, the length of the shorter side is 12.5 ft.

I need help with this fast​
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

l( longer side ) = 12cm

S (shorter side) =9cm

D's( distance between the shorter side). ( It is also the height. I hope you got the clue…)

Anyway,

Area=9X8=72cm^2

Distance of the longer sides is

Area/the length of the longer side

72/12=6cm…

Distance between the longer sides is 6cm

Hope this helps…

In triangle abc, the angle c is six times as large as angle
mote1985 [20]
The interior angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees

a = 1st angle, b = 2nd angle, c = 3rd angle

c = 6a
b = a + 60
a + b + c = 180

a + (a + 60) + (6a) = 180
8a + 60 = 180
8a = 180 - 60
8a = 120
a = 120/8
a = 15 <=== here is one angle

b = a + 60
b = 15 + 60
b = 75 <=== and another one

c = 6a
c = 6(15)
c = 90 <=== and the last angle
