If the ratio of the dimensions is 4:7 and the shorter dimension is 10ft, we know that the 10ft corresponds to the 4 in this scenario. We can set up the equation as follows:
You have to multiply by 2.5 to get from 4 to 10. And since we want to make sure we are maintaining the ratio, we have to multiply the denominator, 7, by 2.5 as well.
This means your shorter side has a length of 10ft and your longer side has a length of 17.5ft.
AREA
The formula for the area of a rectangle is:
So we can plug our dimensions into the formula:
So 175 is our area. But we can't forget about units! Since this is area and we multiplied our units together, our units would be squared. That means our answer is <u>175 square feet</u>.
PERIMETER
The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is:
We can plug our dimensions into the formula:
So 55 is our perimeter. Of course, we can't forget about our units. Because this is perimeter, we only added our units together, so they don't change. That means our answer is <u>55 feet</u>.
