Question

The sides of rectangle are in a ratio of 7 : 4. If the perimeter is 176 ft, what is the area of the rectangle?

Answer 1

Answer:

1792 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

ratio of the sides=7:4

perimeter of the rectangle=176ft

to find area..we need side...

let the side be x

therefore...

perimeter will be..

2(7x + 4x)=176ft

2(11x) = 176ft

22x=176ft

x=176ft/22

x=8ft

hence the sides will be..

7x , 4x

7(8ft) , 4(8ft)

56ft , 32ft

area of rectangle =length×breadth

56ft×32ft

1792ft
