Question One

The length and width of a rectangle is 12 in. And 5 in. The width of a similar rectangle is 8 in. What is the length of the similar rectangle?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Set up proportions. Make sure length and widths line up!

`(12)/(5) =(x)/(8)`

Then do butterfly method.

`12(8) = 5x`

Solve for x.

`96 = 5x\\\\x= 19.2 in`

Hope that helped!
