<h2>Therefore the length of the living room = 24 ft</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that , Consuelo's living room is in the shape of rectangle and has an area of 360 square feet and the width of the living room is its length
Let ,the length of the living room is = x ft
Then width = ft
Therefore the area of the living room =
According to problem,
⇔
⇔
⇔
⇔
⇔
Therefore the length of the living room = 24 ft
Answer:
- One proportion to solve is 8/18 = x/8
- Exact answer as a fraction: x = 32/9
- Approximate answer in decimal form: x = 3.556
In reality, the 5's go on forever, but we have to round off somewhere.
========================================================
Explanation:
Break up the triangles as your teacher recommends. See the diagram below as to what I mean.
The smaller triangle has A = 8 as the horizontal side, and B = x as the vertical side
The larger triangle has C = 10+8 = 18 as the horizontal aside, and D = 8 as the vertical side.
We can form the proportion A/C = B/D.
A/C connects the horizontal sides (small/large) while B/D has the vertical sides tied together. The order of division is the same small over large. You could do large over small, but make sure you keep both sides consistent.
-----------------
Let's solve for x
A/C = B/D
8/18 = x/8
8*8 = 18*x .... cross multiply
64 = 18x
18x = 64
x = 64/18 .... divide both sides by 18
x = 32/9 exactly in fraction form
x = 3.556 approximately in decimal form
-------------------
Another proportion you can solve is A/B = C/D and you should get the same x value. It's the same as A/C = B/D because the B and C swap places. There are many other approaches you could take using different proportions.
