you add the two number 5+7 that is 12 and then multiply it by 2 which is 24 that is the ratio of the totals 94:24, it comes down to a scale factor of 4. Then you multiply 7 by 4 which is 28, and 5 by 4 which is 20. to check you take the answers and make sure. (20x2)+(28x2)= 96

so the 2 width is 20 and the length is 28
