Question

the ratio of the length to the breadth of a rectangle is 7:3. calculate the dimensions of the rectangle if the area is 525m²​

Answer 1

Length = 367.5 m.

Breadth = 157.5 m.

Explanation:

The ratio is 7:3 .

There are 7 + 3 = 10 'parts' in the ratio.

So we work out the multiplier which is 525 / 10 = 52.5

Length = 7 * multiplier

= 7 * 52.5

= 367.5

Breadth = 3 * multiplier

= 3 * 52.5

= 157.5.
