Question

A swimming pool measures 35 feet wide by 50 feet long. What is the ration of the length to the perimeter in simplest form?

Answer 1

Perimeter= 2(50+35)

               = 2*85

               = 170 feet

So, the ratio of the length and the perimeter_

50:170

= 50/170

= 5/17

= 5:17

(Ans): The ratio of the length and the perimeter is 5:17.
