If the area of a rectangle is 108cm2,and the ratio is 3:4
\n" ); document.write( " what is the perimeter?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = the multiplier
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "3x * 4x = 108
\n" ); document.write( "12x^2 = 108
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 12
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 108/12
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 9
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"sqrt%289%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3 is the multiplier
\n" ); document.write( "therefore
\n" ); document.write( "3*3 = 9 is width
\n" ); document.write( "3*4 = 12 is length
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the perimeter
\n" ); document.write( "2(9) + 2(12) =
\n" ); document.write( "18 + 24 = 42 cm is the perimeter
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
