Question

a contractor bought a rectangular piece of land that has a perimeter of 200 feet. the ration of the land's length to width is 9:16

Answer 1

Answer:

length/width = 1/1 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x)(2x) = 12150

6x^2 = 12150

x^2 = 2025

x = 45

Length is 135 ft, width is 90 ft, perimeter is 450 ft

Geometric mean: 135 : x :: x : 90

x^2 = 12150

x = 45√6

The second rectangular piece of land is a square !

length/width = 1/1 = 1
