The sides of a rectangle are in a ratio of 7 : 4. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 176 ft, what is the area of the rectangle? The area of the rectangle is

1792

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides of the rectangle is 7 and 4

7x, 4x

2(7x+4x) = 176

14x + 8x= 176

22x= 176

Divide both sides by the coefficient if x which is 22

x= 176/22

x= 8

7x

= 7(8)

= 56

4x

= 4(8)

= 32

Area of the rectangle

= 56×32

= 1792

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
