Question from SM, a student: 4. The dimensions of a rectangle are in the ratio 5:3. If the longer side is 18 cm, a) What is the length of the shorter side? b) What is the area of the rectangle? |
Hi,
If the longer side is 10 cm what is the length of the shorter side?
If the longer side is 15 cm what is the length of the shorter side?
How did you arrive at the answers to these questions?
If the longer side is 18 cm what is the length of the shorter side?
If you still don't see it write back and tell me your answers to my first three questions.
