Given, (2/3)*length = (3/4)*width
\n" ); document.write( "Multiplying by 12, we get
\n" ); document.write( " 8*length = 9*width
\n" ); document.write( " length/width = 9/8
\n" ); document.write( "Let the length of the rectangle = 9x
\n" ); document.write( "Then,the width of the rectangle = 8x
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter is 2(9x+8x) = 34 cm
\n" ); document.write( " 34x = 34
\n" ); document.write( " x = 1
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore length = 9cms and width = 8 cms
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
