Question

a rectangle has a perimeter of 88 ft. if the ratio of its length to width is 9:2, what is its actual length and width

Answer 1

The length is 36 and the width is 8

Answer 2

9+2=11
11 units
P=2(L+W)
88=2(L+W)
divide by 2 both sides
44=L+W

44=11 units
divide by 11 both sides
4=1unit

9*4=36
2*4=8

legnth is 36ft
width=8ft
