the ratio of the length to the width of a rectangle is 2:3. if the perimeter of the rectangle is 120, find the dimensions
------------
Note:: 2:3 is the same as 2x to 3x where 2x is length and 3x is width.
----------------
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
120 = 2(2x+3x)
60 = 5x
x = 12
-------
2x = 2*12 = 24 (length)
3x = 3*12 = 36 (width)
-----------------------
Cheers,
