A rectangle has a length of 3.4ft and a width of 5.7ft. A larger similar rectangle has a length of 17ft What is the width of the larger rectangular
The two rectangles are similar, which means that their corresponding sides are proportional.
Since the length of the first rectangle is 3.4ft and the length of the second rectangle is 17ft, the ratio of the lengths is 17/3.4=5.
Therefore, the ratio of the widths of the two rectangles is also 5.
To find the width of the larger rectangle, we can multiply the width of the smaller rectangle by the ratio of the widths.
width of larger rectangle = width of smaller rectangle * ratio of widths
width of larger rectangle = 5.7ft * 5
width of larger rectangle = <<5.7*5=28.5>>28.5ft
The width of the larger rectangular is 28.5ft.
