The side of a rectangle are in the ratio 3: 2. what is the length of each side of the perimeter of the rectangle is 55 cm?

There are two sides of length 16.5 cm each and two of length 11 cm each

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter formula is P = 2W + 2L.  We're interested in determining the two different side lengths, given the perimeter.  If P = 55 cm, then it follows that P/2 = W + L = 27.5 cm.  There is a constant c such that 3c + 2c = 27.5 cm.  Then 5c = 27.5 cm, and c = 5.5.

Thus, the length, L, is 3c, or 16.5 cm; the width, W, is 2c, or 11 cm.

Check:  Does 2W + 2L = 55 cm?  Does 2(11 cm) + 2(16.5 cm) = 55 cm?

Yes.

There are two sides of length 16.5 cm each and two of length 11 cm each.

step-by-step explanation:

use pothagarean therom

a^2+b^2=c^2 so first ac

acm is a right triangle because c= 90°

and am (the hypotenuse or c) =16+9 =25

but there is not enough info we need another angle or side length
