Question

he area of a rectangle is 1,872 ft2. the ratio of the length to the width is 9:13. find the perimeter of the rectangle.

Answer 1

Rectangle area = 1872ft²

ratio of length to width is 9:13

length is 9x and width is 13x

1872 = 9x*13x

1872=117x²

x²=1872/117=16

x=V16=4

length = 9x=4*9=36feet

width = 13x=4*13=52feet

perimeter of the rectangle : 2(36+52)=176feet
