Question 1034296: The length of a rectangular portrait is 2.5 times the width. the perimeter is 28 feet. What is the length of the portrait?. Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there,
The length of a portrait is
2.5 x width
Make width = x
Length = 2.5x
Perimeter = 2 x width + 2 x length
28 = 2(x) + 2(2.5x)
28 = 2x + 5x
28 = 7x
x = 4
Width = 4 feet
Length = 10 feet
Hope this helps :-)
