Question 498567: The perimeter of a rectangle is 760 centimeters. If the ratio of its width to its length is 5 to 14, find the dimensions of the rectangle. Answer by cleomenius(959) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2(5x + 14x) = 760
10x + 28x = 760
38x = 760
x = 20
5(20) 100 the width
14(20) 280 the length
200 + 560 = 760 cm.
