Answer:

504 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length and the width of the rectangle be L cm and W cm respectively.

Perimeter= 2(L +W)

2(L +W)= 108

L +W= 108 ÷2

L +W= 54

L= 54 -W -----(1)

\frac{L}{W}  =  \frac{7}{2}

<em>Cross multiply:</em>

2L= 7W -----(2)

Substitute (1) into (2):

2(54 -W)= 7W

<em>Expand:</em>

108 -2W= 7W

<em>+2W on both sides:</em>

9W= 108

<em>Divide both sides by 9:</em>

W= 108 ÷9

W= 12

<em>Substitute W= 12 into (1):</em>

L= 54 -12

L= 42

Area of rectangle

= length ×width

= LW

= 42(12)

= 504 cm²

Sphinxa [80]

Well, let's see how it'll effect your grade...

75% ÷ 90% = 0.83

0.83 x 100 = 83%

It would effect your grade by 7 percent, lowering it to 83%

I hope this helps!
