Question 721171:
the length & breadth of a rectangular field are in the ratio of 3:2. if it's perimeter is 600 , find its sides Answer by checkley79(3341) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! L=3N & W=2N
P=2L+2W
600=2(3N)+2(2N)
600=6N+4N
600=10N
N=600/10
N=60 THIS IS THE MULTIPLIER FOR THE RATIOS.
3*60=180 FOR THE LENGTH.
2*60=120 FOR THE WIDTH.
PROOF:
600=2*180+2*120
600=360+240
600=600
