2. The perimeter of a rectangular pool is 98 feet.
The ratio of the width to the length is 3:4.
What are the dimensions of the pool?

Respuesta :

Answer:

56 and 42

Step-by-step explanation:

3:4

3 + 4 = 7

98 / 7 = 14

14 x 3 = 42

14 x 4 =  56

56 + 42 = 98

The dimensions of the pool can be categorized as below:

Length equals 28 feet

Width equals 21 feet

What is the perimeter?

The perimeter of a rectangle is the outside length of the rectangle. To find the perimeter we add all the 4 sides of the rectangle.

Perimeter = 2(length) + 2 (width )

The ratio of the width to the length is 3:4. The width of the rectangle is 3x  

We know,

Length of the rectangle is 4xWidth =3x  

Length = 4x

Substitute it in the perimeter formula and solve for x.

Given that,

Perimeter of a rectangle = 98 feet

Perimeter = 2(length )+2(width)

98 = 2(4x)+2(3x)

98 = 8x+6x

98 = 14x

∵ x = 7

Now, we will find out the length and width of the pool.

Length = 4x

= 4(7)

= 28 ft.

and,

Width = 3x

= 3(7)

= 21 ft.

Thus, the length of the pool is 28 feet and the width of the pool is 21 feet
