Question

I've been asking since yesterday :(

Candace is designing a rectangular garden. The garden's diagonal must be 37.7 feet, and the ratio between the garden's base and height must be 12:5. Find the length of the garden's base and height. The garden's base is feet and its height is​

Answer 1

Explanation:

let the base=12x

and height=5x

(12x)²+(5x)²=37.7²

144x²+25x²=37.7²

169x²=37.7²

(13x)²=37.7²

13x=37.7

x=37.7/13=2.9

base=12×2.9=34.8 ft

height=5×2.9=14.5 ft
