Length: Width:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2 4

3 6

5 10

7 14

Since we are given 3 blanks and only one ratio could be depicted from the 3rd entry :

`(Legnth)/(Width) = (5)/(10) = (1)/(2)`

Therefore, all the ratios would equal,
`(1)/(2)`.

First entry:

`(L)/(4)` =
`(1)/(2)`

L = 2 centimeters

Second entry:

`(3)/(W) = (1)/(2)`

W = 6 centimeters

Final entry:

`(7)/(W)` =
`(1)/(2)`

W = 14 centimeters.

Thus, your answer is,
