Question

A swimming pool measures 35 feet wide by 50 feet long. What is the ratio of the length to the perimeter in simplest form? Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)

Answer 1

So, let’s find out the numbers needed to form the ratio. The length of the swimming pool is 50 ft long. We need to find the perimeter. 2(50+35)
2*85
170.
So, the perimeter is 170 ft. Now we need to form the ratio. Length is first, then the perimeter.
50:170 is your ratio, but we can simplify it to 5:17. Hope this helped!
