The distance around a rectangular cafe is 35m . The ratio of length of the cafe to the width is 3:2. Find the dimension of the cafe

Hi there! :)

Length = 10.5 m, width = 7 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Perimeter, or P = 35 m

Ratio of l to w = 3 : 2

Since the ratio is 3 : 2, let l = 3x, and w = 2x.

We know that the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2l + 2w. Therefore:

35 = 2(3x) + 2(2x)

35 = 6x + 4x

35 = 10x

x = 3.5

Plug this value of "x" into each expression to solve for the dimensions:

2(3.5) = w

w = 7 m

3(3.5) = l

l = 10.5 m

Therefore, the dimensions are:

Length = 10.5 m, width = 7 m.

i just took the quiz, c.) x=1 is the
