joan has 2 similar rectangular shaped pieces that she is using for her quilt. one has the width of four inches and a lenghth of 6 inches and the other has a width of 6 inches. what is the perimeter of the larger rectangualar piece?
tbh idk im really lost and I also really hate math so yah!
I was looking for the same answer and soo well bye!
length of second = x
4/6 = 6/x
cross-multiply
4x = 36
x=9
take it from there
To find the perimeter of a rectangle, we need to add the lengths of all four sides.
Given that the width of the larger rectangular piece is 6 inches, we can find the length using the information given about the smaller rectangular piece.
Given that the smaller rectangular piece has a width of 4 inches and a length of 6 inches, we can use the ratio of the width to find the length of the larger rectangular piece.
The ratio of the width of the smaller rectangular piece to the width of the larger rectangular piece is 4:6, which simplifies to 2:3.
To find the length of the larger rectangular piece, we multiply the width (6 inches) by 3/2:
Length of the larger rectangular piece = 6 inches × 3/2 = 9 inches
Now, we can calculate the perimeter of the larger rectangular piece:
Perimeter of the larger rectangular piece = 2 × (Width + Length)
= 2 × (6 inches + 9 inches)
= 2 × 15 inches
= 30 inches
Therefore, the perimeter of the larger rectangular piece is 30 inches.
To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you add together all four sides of the rectangle.
In this case, we have the larger rectangular piece with a width of 6 inches already given. However, the length of the larger rectangle is not mentioned. We need the length in order to calculate the perimeter.
Please provide the length of the larger rectangular piece so that we can proceed with finding its perimeter.
