Algebra.Com's Answer #188157 by palanisamy(496)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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( " |
