Question

This scale drawing of a rectangular rug has dimensions 8 inches by 5 inches. The length of the longer side of the actual rug is 32 feet.* 20 FT O 40 FT O 32 FT O 20 IN​

Answer 1

if your asking for the length of the shorter side the answer is 20in

Step-by-step explanation:

32 divided by 8 is 4

5 times 4 equals 20

Answer 2

Answer:

P = 2L + 2W

W = 5

P = 2L + 2(5) = 16

2L + 10 = 16

2L = 6

L = 3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that the perimeter of a rectangle= 2 (length + width).

We set up the equation so it's 16= 2 (length+ 5)

Divide both sides by 2, so 8 = length + 5.

Subtract 5 from both sides and you get length = 3
