Let's start with what we know:
Smaller canvas:
Length (
) = 3ft
Width (
) = 5ft
Larger canvas:
Length (
) = ?
Width (
) = 10ft
Since these are similar rectangles, we can cross-multiply to calculate the missing length. Here's that formula:
So let's plug it all in from above:
Now we cross multiply by multiplying the top-left by the bottom-right and vice versa:
Now divide each side by 5 to isolate
The 5s on the right cancel out, leaving us with:
So the length of the larger canvas is 6 ft
