it is a rectangle with a height to length ratio of 2 to 25 . if the window is 24 feet high. how long is it?______ft
2/25 = 24/x
2x = 600
x = 300
Wow, a window 300 ft long and 24 feet high????
300 feet
300
300
To find the length of the rectangle, we can use the height-to-length ratio. In this case, the ratio of the height to the length is 2:25.
Step 1: Set up the ratio equation:
2/25 = 24/x
Step 2: Cross-multiply and solve for x:
2x = 25 * 24
2x = 600
x = 600/2
x = 300
Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 300 feet.
