Question 922326: the diagonal of a rectangle has length of 50. If its legs are in the ratio 3:4, what is its perimeter?
im not sure if i did it right but i used the pythagorean theorem on thi one.
50^2= 3x^2+4x^2
2500=7x^2
x^2=100
x=10
the perimeter is 140. Correct me if Im wrong. I really need your help on this one. thanks in advance
