I'd like to find out the answer to the question above, please, please, please when you answer show/tell me how to solve the problem (show your work), otherwise it'd be pointless. Thank you!
Here's the actual question (straight out of the textbook):
Give the dimesions of a rectangle with a perimeter of 70 feet and a length to width ratio of 3 to 4.
REMEMBER SHOW ME HOW YOU SOLVED THE PROBLEM AND HOW TO WORK MY WAY BACK.
+129840 I assume you want to find the width and length
Note that there are 7 parts to the L:W ratio (3:4 indicates 7 parts)
And 1/2 of the perimeter is just the (width + length )
And 1/2 of the perimeter = 35
So, since there are 7 parts in 35, each part must be 5
So, 4/7 of 35 = 20 = width
And 3/7 0f 35 = 15 = length
And notice that the L/W ratio = 15:20 = 3:4 !!!
