a.
The ratio of length of shorter side to length of longer side in simplest form.
a.
Answer to Problem 1CT
The ratio of length of shorter side to length of longer side in simplest form is 5:8.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The two sides of rectangle have length 20 and 32
Let the length of rectangle, L = 32
And breadth of rectangle, B = 20
So, the ratio of length of shorter side to length of longer side is
Therefore, the ratio of length of shorter side to length of longer side in simplest form is 5:8.
b.
Ratio of perimeter to the length of longer side in simplest form.
b.
Answer to Problem 1CT
The ratio of perimeter to the length of longer side in simplest form is 13:4
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The two sides of rectangle have length 20 and 32
Let the length of rectangle, L = 32
And breadth of rectangle, B = 20
The perimeter is given as,
So,
The ratio of perimeter to the length of longer side is
Therefore, the ratio of perimeter to the length of longer side in simplest form is 13:4
