Question

the perimeter of a rectangle is 56 meters. Find the dimensions of the rectangle if they are in the ratio 1:3

Answer 1

Answer:

length= 7m and breadth= 21m

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter=56m

Perimeter of a rectangle= 2(l+ b)

Dimensions in the ratio 1:3

1:3= 1x and 3x

Take length as 1x and breadth as 3x

2(1x+3x)= 56m

2(4x)= 56

8x=56

x= 56/8 = 7m

length= 1x= 7m

breadth= 3x= 3*7 = 21m
