Question 1180089


given:

The perimeter of a rectangle is 
{{{30ft }}} and 
the width is {{{5ft}}}


first find the length of the rectangle

The perimeter of a rectangle is 

{{{p=2(L+W)}}}...substitute given values

{{{2(L+5ft)=30ft}}}...both sides divide by {{{2}}}

{{{(L+5ft)=15ft}}}

{{{L=15ft-5ft}}}

{{{L=10ft}}}



 the ratio of the length of the rectangle to its width is {{{10:5=2:1}}}
