The perimeter of a rectangle is 

P = 2w +2l
P = 68 ft

and given the ratio l/w = 9/8 from this result 8l = 9w so l = (9w)/8

P = 2w +2l

68 = 2w +2((9w)/8)

68 = 2w +9w/4

4*68 = 8w +9w

272 = 17w

w = 272/17

w = 16 

so than we know that w=16 so than the length will be 

l = (9w)/8

l = 9*16/8

l = 9*2

l = 18

so than we know that 

l = 18
w = 16

Lena’s guest house is 15 m long and 12 m wide how long is the diagonal of the house?
miv72 [106K]

imagine the diagonal of a rectangle being the split between two triangles. you are trying to find the longest side of the triangle, which is the "diagonal" of the rectangle.

to find the length of a side of a triangle, use the Pythagorean theorem. it is : a^2 + b^2 = c^2

so... plug in your data like this...

15^2 + 12^2= c^2.

225 + 144 = the square root of 369.

that is rounded to 19.2

this is just how I would solve this problem, if I helped you out please just let me know by voting me brainliest! Haha just kidding :)
