Question
Permeter of a rectangle is 70 cm . If the ratio of the length to breadth is 3:2 , find dimensions.
Answer
So , here perimeter is given that is 70 cm
let the ratios be x
Therefore , ratios be 3x and 2x
Now, as we know formula of perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + b)
So , Perimeter of rectangle = 70cm
2(l + b) = 70cm
Putting the value of length and breadth in term of "x"
= 2(3x + 2x) = 70cm
= 2 × 5x = 70
= 10x = 70
= x = 70/10
x = 7
Now putting the value of x
So , length = 3x = 3 × 7 = 21
breadth 2x = 2 × 7 = 14
