Question

The area of a rectangle is 360 in?. The ratio of the length to the width is 5:2 Find the length and the width.​

Answer 1

Length is 30 and the width is 12

Explanation:

5 : 2 is the same as 5x : 2x

Area = l x w

Area = 5x * 2x = 10x^2

10x^2 = 360

Divide 10 on both sides

x^2 = 36

x = 6

5x = 30

2x = 12

The length is 30 and the width is 12

Hope this helps :)

Have a nice day
