Question

The ratio of the corresponding sides of two similar rectangles is 4:9 (table A: table B).

Table A has a perimeter of 27 feet.

What is the perimeter of table B?

The ratio of the corresponding side lengths of two similar rectangular tables is 4:9 (table A: table B).

Table A has a perimeter of 27 feet.

What is the perimeter of table B?

Answer 1

60.75 feet

Explanation:

The ratio of the corresponding sides of two similar rectangles= 4:9

Perimeter of Table A= 27 feet

Perimeter of Table B= ?

Perimeter of Table A= 27 feet

4x= 27

x=
`(27)/(4)`

x= 6.75

Perimeter of Table B= 9x

= 9 x 6.75

= 60.75 feet

4:9 = 27:60.75

∴ the perimeter of table B is 60.75 feet.
