Question 769642: The ratio of the length and breadth of a rectangular photo is 3:2. The area of the photo is 864cm square. Find its length. Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Taking the ratio 3:2
3x * 2x = 864
6x^2 = 864
x^2 = 144
x =
x = 12
So, Length = 3* 12 = 36cm
Breadth = 2 * 12 = 24cm
36 * 24 = 864cm^2
Hope this helps.
