the sides of a rectangle in the ratio of 2:5 and the perimeter of the rectangle is 70 cm what is the width of the rectangle?
----
width: 2x
length 5x
---
Perimeter = 2(width + length)
---
P = 2(2x+5x)
---
70 = 14x
x = 5
---
width: 2x= 10 cm
length:5x= 25 cm
=======================
It is not possibe to tell which dimension is the
width and which is the length.
