Question 868718: A rectangular picture has a height that is 5/7 of its width. Its area is 140 square inches. What are the dimensions of the picture? Answer by maddywolfe(5) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! lxw=area of a rectangle
lxw=140in squared
(i plugged in numbers)
.71428571 x 14 = 140in squared
this would be the answer because you do
5/7 x 14 = .71428571
and when you multiply that out you get
.71428571 x 14 = dimensions of this rectangle (:
Hope I helped!
