What is the ratio of the longer side to the shorter side of a 70ft by 25ft rectangle?

14 to 5


What is x The width and length of a rectangle are given by two consecutive odd integers. Write an expression for the area A of the rectangle. Use x for the shorter side of the rectangle.?

A = x times (x + 2) A = x squared + 2x


What is the perimeter of 7cm by 6cm?

Assuming that this is a rectangle, you know that the length (longer side) would be 7cm, and the width (shorter side) would be 6cm. The formula for perimeter is, 2(length) + 2(width) = Perimeter Now we can plug in our numbers, 2(7cm) + 2(6cm) = 14cm + 12cm = 26cm The perimeter would be 26cm, assuming that this is a rectangle ^^


The perimeter of a rectangle is 40 feet if the length is 15 feet 6 inches what is the width of the rectangle?

If the length is 15.5 feet then the combined length of the two long sides is 31 feet, this leaves 9 feet, which divided between the two shorter sides means each must be 4.5 feet long or 4 feet 6 inches long if you prefer.


If the area of a rectangle is 18 square inches and the length of the rectangle is twice it's width what is the length and width of the rectangle?

A rectangle with one side that is double the length of the other side can be seen as two squares beside each other, that are half the area of the original rectangle, in this case 18 square inches / 2 = 9 square inches. The side of a square is the square root of the area, in this case the square root of 9 square inches, which is 3 inches. Now think about the rectangle again. What we just counted was the side of a square that made up one half of the rectangle you wanted to calculate the area of. So the shorter side of the rectangle is the same as our square, and the longer side is double the length. So the width of the rectangle is 3 inches, and the length is 2 * 3 inches = 6 inches. Or: Area = length x width (A=lw) Area = 18 (in2) Width = w Length = twice width (2w) 18 = (2w)w 18 = 2w2 9 = w2 3 = w The width is 3 in., the length (2w) is 6 in.
