In a rectangle, the ratio of the length to the width is 5 : 2. The length of the rectangle is 13.875 feet greater than the width. What are the perimeter and the area of the rectangle?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Perimeter = 64.75 ft

Area = 213.91 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

13.875 ÷ 3 = 4.625

4.625 x 5 = 23.125 ft (This is the length of the rectangle)

4.625 x 2 = 9.25 ft (This is the width of the rectangle)

(23.125 x 2) + (9.25 x 2) = 64.75 ft (Perimeter)

23.125 x 9.25 = 213.90625 ft, or 213.91 ft if rounded to 2 d.p (Area)
