Answer:
a. 72 inches
b. 21.3 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
12:27
a. 32 inches in height
32/x = 12/27
Set these fractions equal to each other
32= 12
12 times 2.6(repeating decimal) equals 32
So to find the width do 2.666... time 27 and you get 72 inches.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
b. 48 inches in width
Again set the fractions equal to each other.
x/48 = 12/27
48 divided by 27 equals 1.77777....
To get height, do 1.77777.... times 12 and you get 21.3333333
But since it is to the nearest tenth, you get 21.3 inches
Hope that helps!
