ratio of a rectangle's length to its width is 4:7. If the longer side is 31.5in., find the width, the perimeter, and the area of this rectangle.

Sagot :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of length : width = 4 : 7

Length = 4x

Width = 7x

Longer side = 31.5 in

⇒ 7x = 31.5

Divide both sides by 7

x = 31.5/7

x = 4.5

length = 4x

           = 4*4.5

         l = 18 in

width =  31.5

       w = 31.5 in

[tex]\boxed{ \text {Perimeter of rectangle }= 2*l + 2*w}[/tex]

                                      = 2*18 + 2*31.5

                                      = 36 +  63

                                      = 99 in

[tex]\boxed{ \text{Area of rectangle = l*w}}[/tex]

                             = 18*31.5

                             =  567 in²
