If the diameter of a rectangle is 10 meters and one side is 2 meters larger than another then what are the lengths of the sides?

In a rectangle there are two sets of lines - those opposite each other are the same length.
So the phrasing of this question tells us that the two longest sides are 2 metres longer than the short sides, and that all the sides add up to 10 metres.
So, if we call the short sides S, then
2S + 2(S+2) = 10
This works out to 2S + 2S + 4 = 10
This reduces to 4S = 6
And that gives us S = 6/4
So S = 1.5
So now we know that the short sides are both 1.5 metres and the long sides are both 3.5 metres
Adding these together we get 1.5 + 1.5 + 3.5 + 3.5 = 10

How many times is the circumference shorter than the diameter of a circle?
Given a diameter d, the circumference of a circle is Pi*d. Thus the circumference is Pi times larger than the diameter.
How many times larger is the circumference than the diameter?

What are some examples of a ratio?
An example of a ratio would be 1:2, say you have two squares, one of the side lengths on the square is 4 inches, the other is 2 the ratio of the smaller rectangle to the larger rectangle is 1 to 2, or 1/2 of the larger rectangle.
What is the ratio of a rectangle with side lengths of 8 and 17 to a similar rectangle with a side length of 3?
It depends on whether the side length of 3 is the smaller or the larger of the two sides of the second rectangle. that is, is the 3 related to the 8 or the 17.
One circular table has a diameter of 8 ft. and another circular table has a diameter of 12 ft. how much greater is the area of the larger table?
If the ratio of the lengths is a:b then the areas are in the ratio of the square of these, namely a2:b2The lengths are in the ratio 8:12 ⇒ 2:3Therefore the areas are in the ratio 22:32 ⇒ 4:9So the area of the larger table is 9/4 = 21/4 = 2.25 times the area of the smaller table.

If you double the side lengths of a rectangle why is the area of the new rectangle not twice as big as the original?
Look at it this way, suppose x is one side of the rectangle and y is the other. Then the area of the rectangle would be xy. Now if you double each side of the originial rectangle you would have each side as 2x and 2y. So the area of the new rectangle would be 2x*2y or 4xy. As you can see the new area is 4 times larger than the original.
