The sides

The sides of a rectangle are in a ratio of 2:3, and its perimeter is 1 1/4 inches. What are the lengths of its side? Draw it.

Correct answer:

a =  1/4 in
b =  3/8 in

Step-by-step explanation:

p=141=1+41=41 4+1=44+1=45=1.25 in a:b=2:3  a=2/3 b 2(a+b)=p a=2/3 b 2(a+b)=1.25  a=2/3 b 2 (a+b)=1.25  3a2b=0 2a+2b=1.25  Row232 Row1Row2 3a2b=0 3.33b=1.25  b=3.333333331.25=0.375 a=30+2b=30+2 0.375=0.25  a=41=0.25 b=83=0.375
