You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the ratio of one side of a certain rectangle to the adjacent side is 4:3, what would the ratio of the perimeter to the diagonal be?
-----
4:3 is the same as 4x:3x
---
Perimeter = 2(4x+3x) = 14x
------
diagonal = sqrt[(4x)^2+(3x)^2)] = sqrt[25x^2] = 5x
-----
Ratio of perimeter to diag = 14x/5x = 14/5
