Question

Two rectangle are similar, the first 4 in wide and 15 in long. The second is 19 in. Wide. Find the length of the second rectangle?

Answer 1

the length of the second rectangle is 33.75 in

Explanation:

The computation of the length of the second rectangle is as follows

Let us assume the length of the second triangle be x

Now

The equation would be

4 ÷ 15 = 9 ÷ x

Now do the cross multiplication

4x = 15 × 9

4x = 135

x = 33.75 in

Hence, the length of the second rectangle is 33.75 in
