Answer:
28 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let longer side of rectangle be and the shorter side be
, thus we can write the ratio:
<em>Now putting 21 into S, we solve for L:</em>
Hence, length of longer side is 28 ft.
Length of blue cloth is 60 inches , length of gold cloth is 48 inches and length of white cloth is 72 inches.
<u>a.</u>
As, the length of all pieces are equal, so for getting the greatest possible length of the pieces, we need to find <u>GCF(greatest common factor) of 60, 48 and 72. </u>
First we will factor out all three numbers completely......
The common factors are: 2, 2 and 3
Thus the GCF
So, the greatest possible length of the pieces without having any cloth left over will be 12 inches.
<u>b. </u>
For finding the number of pieces for each color cloth, we will just <u>divide the length of each cloth by 12</u>. So...
Number of pieces for blue cloth
Number of pieces for gold cloth and
Number of pieces for white cloth
