10.) The length of the sides of a rectangular window have the ratio 1.7 to 1. The area of the windows is 2,720 square inches. What are the dimensions of the window?
a.) 40 inches by 36 inches
b.) 40 inches by 65 inches
c.) 40 inches by 34 inches
d.) 40 inches by 68 inches

Answer 1

Let the width be x and the length = 1.7x
Area = length x width = x * 1.7x = 1.7x^2 = 2,720
x^2 = 2,720 / 1.7 = 1,600
x = sqrt(1,600) = 40
1.7x = 1.7 x 40 = 68

Therefore, the dimensions are 40 inches by 68 inches
