Question

The length of a rectangle is 7x and its width is 5x. Find the ratio of :

a) Breadth to length

b) length to perimeter​

Answer 1

Perimeter of Rectangle = 2 × (Length + Breadth)

$\longrightarrow$ Perimeter of Rectangle = 2 × (7x + 5x)

$\longrightarrow$ Perimeter of Rectangle = 2 × 12x

$\longrightarrow$ Perimeter of Rectangle = 24x

So Now, We have :

• Length of Rectangle = 7x
• Breadth of Rectangle = 5x
• Perimeter of Rectangle = 24x

$\rule{315}{3}$

a) Ratio of Breadth to Length

$\dashrightarrow$ 5x : 7x = 5 : 7

b) Ratio of Length to Perimeter

$\dashrightarrow$ 7x : 24x = 7 : 24
