The lengths of the sides of a rectangle are in the ratio 5 : 3. The perimeter is 32 cm. What are the dimensions?

OpenStudy (visarika23):

As the ratio of sides is 5:3 so consider the lengths of sides 5x and 3x. So 2(5x+3x)=32 Solving it u'll get x = 2 Therefore the dimensions are 10 and 6

OpenStudy (visarika23):

You must be knowing that perimeter of rectangle is 2*(length +breadth)
