Question

a rectangular school banner has a lenght of 44 inches, a perimeter of 156 inches, and an area of 1496 square inches. the cheerleaders make signs similar to the banner. the length of a sign is 11 inches. What is the area of the cheerleaders sign? (Show your work)

Answer 1

2*44+2x=156
88+2x=156
2x=68
x=34
length to width ratio
44:34
Divide both sides by 4 sot that length is 11:
11:8.5
11*8.5=93.5
So the area is 93 square inches.

Hope this helps :)
