Charlie measured his room and found that it was 10 1/2 feet in length and 7 1/4 feet wide. his brother's room has the same width, but its length is 4/5 the length of charlie's room. what is the length of charlie's brother's room. what is the area of charlie's brother's room?

Length of Charlie's brother's room  = 8 2/5 feet

Area of Charlie's brother's room  = 60 9/10 feet²

Step-by-step explanation:

Width Charlie's room = 7 1/4 = (7 x 4 +1)/4 = 29/4  feet

Length Charlie's room =  10 1/2 = (10 x 2 +1)/2 = 21/2 feet

Length brother's room = 4/5 x 21/2 = (4 x 21)/(5 x 2) = 84/10 = 8 2/5 feet

Area = Length x Width = (42/5 x 29/4) feet² = 1218/20 feet² = 60 9/10 feet²



56.6

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the perimeters is equal to the scale.

the ratio of the areas is equal to the square of the scale.

34 / 20 = k

a / 19.6 = k²

substituting:

a / 19.6 = (34 / 20)²

a = 19.6 (34 / 20)²

a ≈ 56.6
