Answer:
5/3 or 10/12
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
20 feet wide, 24 feet long
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x - width, y - length.
The perimeter is given by the formula:
P = 2*(width + length) or using x, y
P = 2*(x + y) = 88
x + y = 44
And we know that the ratio between the sides is 5/6:
x/y = 5/6. x is on top because the length is bigger than the width
x = 5y/6
Plug this in the first expression:
y + 5y/6 = 44. Muliply by 6
6y + 5y = 264
11y = 264
y = 264/11 = 24.
So x = 5(24)/6 = 20
Practice proportionality. A 50 difference between 100 and 150 is less relevant than 50 in 25 and 75. Its like you have 1 billion dollars and i give you 10 dollars. Its worthless right? What if you have 20 dollars and i give you again 10 dollars, its half of what you have. See the difference? Same number but different value.
