Question

The sides of a rectangle are in the ratio 5 : 4. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 360 cm , find its area

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let, the length is z

thus the ratio will be 5z : 4z

perimeter = 2 (a + b)

360 = 2 ( 5z + 4z )

180 = 9z

z = 20 cm

length = 100 cm and width = 80cm

area = length * width

area = 100*80

area = 8000cm²
