Question

The lengths of the sides of a rectangular window hae the ratio 1.6 to 1. The area of the window is 2822.4 in^2. What are the window's dimensions?

Answer 1

1.6 to 1 is equal to 1.6x:1x
The equation is as follows:

\[1.6x \times1x =2822.4\]
\[1.6x =2822.4\]
Divide both sides by 1.6
\[x^{2} = 1764\]
Now find the square root of both sides.
\[x =42\]
Now lets find the side s by your ratio 1.6:1
\[x=1.6\times42\]
\[x=1\times42\]
height = 67.2
leangth =42
