you came across a large rectangular door the ratio of height to length is 2 to 25. if the door is 24 feet high, what is its length
To find the length of the door, we can set up a proportion using the given ratio.
Let's represent the height of the door as "h" and the length of the door as "l". According to the given ratio, we know that:
h/l = 2/25
Substituting the given height of 24 feet for "h" in the equation, we have:
24/l = 2/25
Now, we can cross-multiply to solve for "l":
25 * 24 = 2 * l
600 = 2l
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2:
l = 300
Therefore, the length of the door is 300 feet.
