Question

The sides of a rectangle are in the ratio 2:3. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 48 cm, find its dimensions. lems based on ages​

Answer 1

Answer:

4.8

Step-by-step explanation:

p=2(l+b)

let x

p=2(2x+3x)

48=10x

x=48/10

x=4.8

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the one side and other side be 2x and 3x respectively.

$\:$

Perimeter of rectagle = 2(l + b)

$\:$

Substitute values

⟹ 48 = 2(2x + 3x)

⟹ 48 = 2(5x)

⟹ 48 = 10x

⟹ 10x = 48

⟹ x = $\rm\dfrac{48}{10}$

⟹ x = $\rm\dfrac{24}{5}$

⟹ x = 4.8m.

Therefore,

One side = 2x = 2(4.8) = 9.6m

Other side = 3x = 3(4.8) = 14.4m.

Hence, dimensions are 9.6m and 14.4m.
