Well 2.5 + 2.5 is 5 so 5 - 2.5 is 2.5
To answer this, we let x some factor that would agree or make the ratio given true. We calculate as follows:
<span>2:3:4
2x:3x:4x
2x = 12
x = 6
Therefore, the length of the longest side would be 4x = 4(6) = 24 cm, third option.</span>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l+b)
Let the length be x
then width = x-2
44 ft = 2(l+b)
44ft = 2(x + x-2)
44ft = 2(2x-2)
44 ft = 4x -4
44+4 = 4x
48 = 4x
x = 48/4 = 12
Length = <u>x = 12</u>
Width = <u>x-2 = 12-2 =10</u>
<u></u>
<u>Length is 12 and width is 10</u>
<u></u>
<u>check if its correct </u>
2(l+b) = 44
2(12+10)=44
2(22) = 44
