The perimeter of a rectangle is 280 cm. The ratio of the width to the length is 3 : 4. What is the length of the rectangle?
Perimeter of rectangle → 2 ( length+breadth)
Let,length and breath be y
length → 3y
breadth → 4y
perimeter of rectangle → 2(3y+4y)
280 = 2 x 7y
14y = 280
y =
y= 20
put ,value..
length → 3y =20 x 3= 60 cm..
Length= 60 cm..

Answer- here ya go mate,
Perimeter of the rectangle = 280cm
length = ? lets consider it as 4x
breadth = ? let's consider it as 3x
formula of perimeter - 2(l + b)
= 2 ( 4x + 3x )
280 = 2 (4x + 3x)
280 = 2 x 7x
280 / 2 = 7x
140 = 7x
140 / 7 = x
20 = x
length = 4x = 4 x 20 = 80cm
breadth = 3x = 3 x 20 = 60 cm
have a great day buddy!!! : )
