Question

One of the world's largest stained-glass windows is at KennedyInternational Airport in New York. It isa rectangle with a height to lengthratio of 2 to 25. If the window is 24feet high, how long is it?

Answer 1

we have that

the ratio

h/L=2/25 -----> h=(2/25)*L ------> equation 1

and

h=24 ft

substitute the value of h in equation 1

24=(2/25)*L

solve for L

L=(24*25)/2

L=300 ft
