The perimeter of a rectangle is 68ft. find the dimensions of the rectangle if the ratio of the length to the wifth is 9.8. which of the following would be the best equation to use to slove this problem

The length is 18ft
and width is 16ft

we know that the perimeter of a rectangle is equal to

which l and w stand for length and width.

so if we divide 68 by two, we will have the sum of the length and width.


so the sum of length and width is 34(68/2)

and sum of ratios is 17 (9+8)


so if we multiply the ratios by 2 we can find length and width


good luck
