The rectangle has a length of 60 cm and a width of 40 cm. \n" ); document.write( "A=l*w \n" ); document.write( "A=60*40 \n" ); document.write( "A=2400 \n" ); document.write( "The ratio of the area of the square to the rectangle is 1:6. \n" ); document.write( "So the area of the square is 400 (2400/6). \n" ); document.write( "The are of a square is s^2. \n" ); document.write( "A=s^2 \n" ); document.write( "400=s^2 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "s=20 \n" ); document.write( "One side of the square is 20 cm. \n" ); document.write( "P=4s \n" ); document.write( "P=4(20) \n" ); document.write( "P=80 \n" ); document.write( "Therefore, the perimeter of the square is 80 cm. \n" ); document.write( " |
