Answer: The width of the rectangle is 10.2 inches, the perimeter is 71.4 inches, the area is 260.1 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
25.5/5=5.1
5.1*2=10.2
The width is 10.2 inches
25.5*2+10.2*2=71.4
The perimeter is 71.4 inches
20.5*10.2=260.1
The area is 260.1
1) The width of the rectangle is 10.2 in.
2) The perimeter of the rectangle is 71.4 in.
3) The area of the rectangle is 260.1 sq.in.
[tex]P=2\times(l+w)[/tex]
where, 'l' is the length of the rectangle
'w' is the width of the rectangle
[tex]A=l\times w[/tex]
For given example,
The sides of a rectangle are in the ratio 2:5
The longer side of the rectangle is 25.5 in.
This means the length of the rectangle is [tex]l=25.5~in.[/tex]
Let 'x' represents the width of the rectangle.
⇒ [tex]\frac{2}{5} =\frac{x}{25.5}[/tex]
⇒ 2 × 25.5 = 5 × 'x'
⇒ 51 = 5x
⇒ x = 51/5
⇒ x = 10.2 in.
This means the width of the rectangle is 10.2 in.
⇒ [tex]l=25.5~in,~w=10.2~in.[/tex]
Using the formula of perimeter of the rectangle,
⇒ P = 2 × (25.5 + 10.2)
⇒ P = 2 × 35.7
⇒ P = 71.4 in.
Using the formula of area of the rectangle,
⇒ A = 10.2 × 25.5
⇒ A = 260.1 sq. in.
Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 10.2 in.
The perimeter of the rectangle is 71.4 in.
The area of the rectangle is 260.1 sq.in.
