Answer:

length 10

Explanation:

If we hace a width of x then the length is 2.5x. The perimeter of the rectangular portrait is the sum of all sides then: x+x+2.5x+2.5x as we know the perimeter is 28 then:


x+x+2.5x+2.5x=28


2x+5x=28


7x=28


x=(28)/(7)=4

As x is the width to know the length we have to multiply 4 by 2.5 then the length is 10.
